List of lists middle element extraction in python

Question

I have a list of lists as follows

[('trojan', 'virus', 0.4731800100841465), ('elb', 'Ebola', 0.3722390506633956)]

How to extract only the middle element i.e. 'virus' and 'Ebola' ?

Answer 1

You can use a comprehnesion list

your_list = [('trojan', 'virus', 0.4731800100841465), ('elb', 'Ebola', 0.3722390506633956)]
l = [x[1] for x in your_list]

output:

['virus', 'Ebola']

Answer 2

You have to find middle index

data = [
    ('trojan', 'virus', 0.4731800100841465),
    ('elb', 'Ebola', 0.3722390506633956)
]
middle_data = []
for inside_list in data:
    middle = len(inside_list)/2
    middle_data.append(inside_list[middle])
print(middle_data)

Output: ['virus', 'Ebola']
