I have 2 lists of numbers that can be different lengths, for example:
list1 = [1, 2, -3, 4, 7]
list2 = [4, -6, 3, -1]
I need to iterate over these with the function:
final_list = []
for index in range(???):
if list1[index] < 0:
final_list.insert(0, list1[index])
elif list1[index] > 0:
final_list.insert(len(final_list), list1[index])
if list2[index] < 0:
final_list.insert(0, list2[index])
elif list2[index] > 0:
final_list.insert(len(final_list), list2[index])
return final_list
but can't figure out how to deal with the range as the shorter list will become "out of range" if I use the max length. Any thoughts on how to overcome this or how to change my function?
解决方案If the iterables are of uneven length, missing values are filled-in
