简短而简单:

def ave(x,y):
  return (x + y) / 2.0

map(ave, a[:-1], a[1:])

这是它的样子:

>>> a = range(10)
>>> map(ave, a[:-1], a[1:])
[0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8.5]

由于Python在处理两个列表上的映射时有些愚蠢，你必须截断列表a[:-1]。如果你使用itertools.imap，它会像你期望的那样工作:

>>> import itertools
>>> itertools.imap(ave, a, a[1:])
<itertools.imap object at 0x1005c3990>
>>> list(_)
[0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8.5]

我只使用带有map()的

a = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
b = map(lambda x, y: (x+y)/2.0, fib[:-1], fib[1:])
print b

生成器是一种简单的编写方法:

from __future__ import division
# ^- so that 3/2 is 1.5 not 1

def averages( lst ):
    it = iter(lst) # Get a iterator over the list
    first = next(it)
    for item in it:
        yield (first+item)/2
        first = item

print list(averages(range(1,11)))
# [1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8.5, 9.5]

一种简单的方法是使用iter_tools排列

# If you are given a list

numList = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]

# and you are asked to find the number of three sums that add to a particular number

target = 10
# How you could come up with the answer?

from itertools import permutations

good_permutations = []

for p in permutations(numList, 3):
    if sum(p) == target:
        good_permutations.append(p)

print(good_permutations)

结果是:

[(1, 2, 7), (1, 3, 6), (1, 4, 5), (1, 5, 4), (1, 6, 3), (1, 7, 2), (2, 1, 7), (2, 3, 
5), (2, 5, 3), (2, 7, 1), (3, 1, 6), (3, 2, 5), (3, 5, 2), (3, 6, 1), (4, 1, 5), (4, 
5, 1), (5, 1, 4), (5, 2, 3), (5, 3, 2), (5, 4, 1), (6, 1, 3), (6, 3, 1), (7, 1, 2), 
(7, 2, 1)]

注意，顺序很重要——即1,2,7也表示为2,1,7和7,1,2。您可以通过使用集合来减少这种情况。

使用简单的列表-理解和求和:

>> sum(i for i in range(x))/2. #if x = 10 the result will be 22.5

遍历列表中的元素并像这样更新总数:

def sum(a):
    total = 0
    index = 0
    while index < len(a):
        total = total + a[index]
        index = index + 1
    return total
