Can you help me to modify my list? I have a list which consists of three coordinates X Y Z. I need to produce a string with the X Y coordinates delimited by a comma and each coordinate delimited by a newline.
xyz = ['55.548745 35.547852 5.545', '57.85425 37.524852 7.545', '57.214445 38.587852 6.745']
Result should look like this:
xy = "55.548745,35.547852
57.854258,37.524852
57.214445,38.587852"
How can this be done? Thank you in advance for your help.
You can use:
xy = '\n'.join([','.join(coord.split(' ')[0:2]) for coord in xyz])
This iterates through every xyz coordinate, splits them by space, joins the first two coordinates with a comma and produces a list. It then joins the list by newlines, creating the desired result.
Append the first two items in each sublist to new x,y lists:
xyz = ['55.548745 35.547852 5.545', '57.85425 37.524852 7.545', '57.214445 38.587852 6.745']
x = []
y = []
for p in xyz:
x1, y1 = p.split()[:-1]
x.append(float(x1))
y.append(float(y1))
print(x)
print(y)
output:
[55.548745, 57.85425, 57.214445]
[35.547852, 37.524852, 38.587852]
Now you have two lists in the same order as the original list, so corresponding (x,y) points can be referenced:
print(x[0], y[0])
returns a tuple of the first coordinate:
(55.548745, 35.547852)
Here is my solution, use split()[:-1] to remove the z and then it return a list of tuple of x and y
xyz = ['55.548745 35.547852 5.545', '57.85425 37.524852 7.545', '57.214445 38.587852 6.745']
new_list = [(float(x2), float(y2)) for (x2, y2) in [x1.split()[:-1] for x1 in xyz]]
print(new_list)
Output:
[(55.548745, 35.547852), (57.85425, 37.524852), (57.214445, 38.587852)]
Here is yet another answer that takes your input list and uses dictionary comprehension to extract the latitude and longitude. Next the code iterates over the two dictionaries and obtains the latitude and longitude values.
xyz = ['55.548745 35.547852 5.545', '57.85425 37.524852 7.545', '57.214445 38.587852 6.745']
geo_latitude = {y:x.split()[0] for y,x in enumerate(xyz)}
geo_longitude = {y:x.split()[1] for y,x in enumerate(xyz)}
for (latitude_key,latitude_value),(longitude_key,longitude_value) in zip(geo_latitude.items(), geo_longitude.items()):
# I'm using f-strings to format and print the strings
print(f'Lat/Long Coordinates -- {latitude_value}, {longitude_value}')
# outputs
Lat/Long Coordinates -- 55.548745, 35.547852
Lat/Long Coordinates -- 57.85425, 37.524852
Lat/Long Coordinates -- 57.214445, 38.587852
