Merging characters from a list of strings
This Python code creates a set named merged_chars that contains the distinct characters from a list of strings. Here's how the code works:
- strings = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]: This line initializes a list named strings with three strings.
- merged_chars = {char for string in strings for char in string}: This line uses a set comprehension to create the merged_chars set. It iterates through each string in the strings list and includes each character in the merged_chars set.
- for string in strings: This part of the code iterates through each string in the strings list.
- for char in string: It iterates through each character in the current string.
- print(strings): This line prints the original strings list to the console.
- print(merged_chars): This line prints the merged_chars set, which contains all the distinct characters from the original strings.
Source Code
strings = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
merged_chars = {char for string in strings for char in string}
print(strings)
print(merged_chars)
Output
['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
{'r', 'b', 'p', 'n', 'a', 'e', 'c', 'h', 'y', 'l'}
