当使用for循环迭代时,我如何处理输入的最后一个元素?特别是,如果有代码应该只出现在元素之间(而不是在最后一个元素之后),我该如何构造代码?

目前,我写的代码是这样的:

for i, data in enumerate(data_list):
    code_that_is_done_for_every_element
    if i != len(data_list) - 1:
        code_that_is_done_between_elements

我如何简化或改进它?

如果项目是唯一的:

for x in list:
    #code
    if x == list[-1]:
        #code

其他选项:

pos = -1
for x in list:
    pos += 1
    #code
    if pos == len(list) - 1:
        #code


for x in list:
    #code
#code - e.g. print x


if len(list) > 0:
    for x in list[:-1]:
        #process everything except the last element
    for x in list[-1:]:
        #process only last element

将最后一项的特殊处理延迟到循环之后。

>>> for i in (1, 2, 3):
...     pass
...
>>> i
3

有多种方法。切片是最快的。再添加一个使用.index()方法的:

>>> l1 = [1,5,2,3,5,1,7,43]                                                 
>>> [i for i in l1 if l1.index(i)+1==len(l1)]                               
[43]

数一次项目,并跟上剩余项目的数量:

remaining = len(data_list)
for data in data_list:
    code_that_is_done_for_every_element

    remaining -= 1
    if remaining:
        code_that_is_done_between_elements

这种方法只计算一次列表的长度。本页上的许多解决方案似乎都假定长度是预先不可用的,但这不是您的问题的一部分。如果你有长度,就用它。

这类似于Ants Aasma的方法,但没有使用itertools模块。它也是一个滞后迭代器,它可以提前查找迭代器流中的单个元素:

def last_iter(it):
    # Ensure it's an iterator and get the first field
    it = iter(it)
    prev = next(it)
    for item in it:
        # Lag by one item so I know I'm not at the end
        yield 0, prev
        prev = item
    # Last item
    yield 1, prev

def test(data):
    result = list(last_iter(data))
    if not result:
        return
    if len(result) > 1:
        assert set(x[0] for x in result[:-1]) == set([0]), result
    assert result[-1][0] == 1

test([])
test([1])
test([1, 2])
test(range(5))
test(xrange(4))

for is_last, item in last_iter("Hi!"):
    print is_last, item

我想到的一个简单的解决办法是:

for i in MyList:
    # Check if 'i' is the last element in the list
    if i == MyList[-1]:
        # Do something different for the last
    else:
        # Do something for all other elements

第二个同样简单的解决方法是使用计数器:

# Count the no. of elements in the list
ListLength = len(MyList)
# Initialize a counter
count = 0

for i in MyList:
    # increment counter
    count += 1
    # Check if 'i' is the last element in the list
    # by using the counter
    if count == ListLength:
        # Do something different for the last
    else:
        # Do something for all other elements
