input_list =  ['soap','sharp','shy','silent','ship','summer','sheep']

Extract a list of names that start with an s and end with a p (both 's' and 'p' are lowercase) in input_list using filter function.

Output should be: 

['soap', 'sharp', 'ship', 'sheep']

  • An alternative to the second line that some might find a little more readable: ```sp = [w for w in input_list if w.startswith('s') and w.endswith('p')]``` – Paul Bissex Jun 02 '21 at 16:40

sp = list(filter(lambda x: x.startswith("s") and x.endswith("p"), input_list))

print(sp)

This would give you the correct answer

Here how's it can be done easily-

input_list =  ['soap','sharp','shy','silent','ship','summer','sheep']


def fil_func(name):
    if name[0]=='s' and name[-1]=='p':
        return True

correct_name = []
for i in input_list:
    name = list(filter(fil_func, input_list)) # list() is added because filter function returns a generator.
print(name)

Here you go:

list(filter(lambda x: x.startswith("s") and x.endswith("p"), input_list))

It can easily be done using the following code sample:

input_list =  ['soap','sharp','shy','silent','ship','summer','sheep']

sp = list(filter(lambda x:x[0]=='s' and x[-1]=='p', input_list)) 

print(sp)
