I'm trying to figure out a way to search though a 2D array to find a certain word and then replacin that word.
For example:
pets = [['I', 'have', 'a', 'cat'], ['She', 'has', 'a', 'pet', 'cat']]
I need a way to search for the word 'cat' and replace it with the word 'dog'.
You can use a list comprehension to check all elements, and replace those that are 'cat' with 'dog' :
pets = [['I', 'have', 'a', 'cat'], ['She', 'has', 'a', 'pet', 'cat']]
new_pets = [[p if p.lower()!='cat' else 'dog' for p in s] for s in pets]
print(new_pets) # => [['I', 'have', 'a', 'dog'], ['She', 'has', 'a', 'pet', 'dog']]
Using list comprehension:
pets = [[val.replace('cat', 'dog') for val in row] for row in pets]
petsor there are more sentences?
