Flatten List in Python with Example
Flattening a list refers to the process of removing a dimension from a list. A dimension refers to an additional co-ordinate needed to locate an item in a list. You can flatten a Python list using a list comprehension, a nested for loop, or the itertools.chain() method.
Flatten List using Nested for Loop
Using the nested for loop to append each element of sublist in a flat list
Example:
nestedlist = [ [1, 2, 3, 4], ["Ten", "Twenty", "Thirty"], [1.1, 1.0E1, 1+2j, 20.55, 3.142]]
flatlist=[]
for sublist in nestedlist:
for element in sublist:
flatlist.append(element)
print(flatlist)
Output
[1, 2, 3, 4, 'Ten', 'Twenty', 'Thirty', 1.1, 10.0, (1+2j), 20.55, 3.142]Using List Comprehension
List comprehension offers a shorter syntax when you want to create a new list based on the values of the existing list. A list comprehension consists of brackets containing the expression, which is executed for each element, and the for loop to iterate over each element.
original_list = [[11, 21, 30], [19, 63, 71], [81, 99]]
flatten_list = [element for sublist in original_list for element in sublist]
print("Original list", original_list)
print("Flattened list", flatten_list)Output
Original list [[11, 21, 30], [19, 63, 71], [81, 99]]
Flattened list [11, 21, 30, 19, 63, 71, 81, 99]You can see that we have flattened a list.
List comprehensions provide a concise way to create lists.
Flatten List of Lists Using itertools
Using itertools is ideal for transforming a 2D list into a single flat list. It treats consecutive sequences as a single sequence by iterating through the iterable passed as the argument sequentially.
import itertools
original_list = [[11, 21, 30], [19, 63, 71], [81, 99]]
flatten_list = list(itertools.chain(*original_list))
print("Original list", original_list)
print("Flattened list", flatten_list)Output
Original list [[11, 21, 30], [19, 63, 71], [81, 99]]
Flattened list [11, 21, 30, 19, 63, 71, 81, 99]And we got the flatten list in the output.
While itertools is an effective way at flattening a list, it is more advanced than the last approach we have discussed.
This is because you must import itertools into your code which introduces a new dependency. What’s more, the chain() method involves unpacking which can be difficult to understand.
Flatten List of Lists Using numpy (concatenate() and flat())
To flatten a list of lists in Python, use the combination of numpy library, concatenate(), and flat() function. Numpy offers common operations, which include concatenating regular 2D arrays row-wise or column-wise. We are also using the flat attribute to get a 1D iterator over the array to achieve our goal.
import numpy as np
original_list = [[11, 21, 30], [19, 63, 71], [81, 99]]
flatten_list = list(np.concatenate(original_list). flat)
print("Original list", original_list)
print("Flattened list", flatten_list)Output
Original list [[11, 21, 30], [19, 63, 71], [81, 99]]
Flattened list [11, 21, 30, 19, 63, 71, 81, 99]

The anatomy of Python Lists
An easy guide to summarize the most common methods and operations regarding list manipulation in Python.
Python lists are a built-in type of data used to store items of any data type such as strings, integers, booleans, or any sort of objects, into a single variable.
Lists are created by enclosing one or multiple arbitrary comma-separated objects between square brackets.
Lists may contain elements of different data types
List items follows a sequenced or specific order
Access values by index

Basic Data Types in Python | Python Web Development For Beginners
At the end of 2019, Python is one of the fastest-growing programming languages. More than 10% of developers have opted for Python development.
In the programming world, Data types play an important role. Each Variable is stored in different data types and responsible for various functions. Python had two different objects, and They are mutable and immutable objects.

III Built-in data types in Python
Mutable objects
The Size and declared value and its sequence of the object can able to be modified called mutable objects.
Mutable Data Types are list, dict, set, byte array
Immutable objects
The Size and declared value and its sequence of the object can able to be modified.
Immutable data types are int, float, complex, String, tuples, bytes, and frozen sets.
id() and type() is used to know the Identity and data type of the object
a**=25+**85j
type**(a)**
output**:<class’complex’>**
b**={1:10,2:“Pinky”****}**
id**(b)**
output**:**238989244168
Built-in data types in Python
a**=str(“Hello python world”)****#str**
b**=int(18)****#int**
c**=float(20482.5)****#float**
d**=complex(5+85j)****#complex**
e**=list((“python”,“fast”,“growing”,“in”,2018))****#list**
f**=tuple((“python”,“easy”,“learning”))****#tuple**
g**=range(10)****#range**
h**=dict(name=“Vidu”,age=36)****#dict**
i**=set((“python”,“fast”,“growing”,“in”,2018))****#set**
j**=frozenset((“python”,“fast”,“growing”,“in”,2018))****#frozenset**
k**=bool(18)****#bool**
l**=bytes(8)****#bytes**
m**=bytearray(8)****#bytearray**
n**=memoryview(bytes(18))****#memoryview**
Numbers (int,Float,Complex)
Numbers are stored in numeric Types. when a number is assigned to a variable, Python creates Number objects.
#signed interger
age**=**18
print**(age)**
Output**:**18
Python supports 3 types of numeric data.
int (signed integers like 20, 2, 225, etc.)
float (float is used to store floating-point numbers like 9.8, 3.1444, 89.52, etc.)
complex (complex numbers like 8.94j, 4.0 + 7.3j, etc.)
A complex number contains an ordered pair, i.e., a + ib where a and b denote the real and imaginary parts respectively).
String
The string can be represented as the sequence of characters in the quotation marks. In python, to define strings we can use single, double, or triple quotes.
# String Handling
‘Hello Python’
#single (') Quoted String
“Hello Python”
# Double (") Quoted String
“”“Hello Python”“”
‘’‘Hello Python’‘’
# triple (‘’') (“”") Quoted String
In python, string handling is a straightforward task, and python provides various built-in functions and operators for representing strings.
The operator “+” is used to concatenate strings and “*” is used to repeat the string.
“Hello”+“python”
output**:****‘Hello python’**
"python "*****2
'Output : Python python ’
