Today’s challenge
The code below is a list comprehension. Figure out what it means and rewrite it using for-loops and embedded if-elif statements. Confirm that the code below and your for-loop version produce identical output.
nums = range(1,16)
[ n**2 if n%2==0 else n/2 for n in nums if n%2==0 or n>5 ].

nums = range(1,16)
list1 = [ n**2 if n%2==0 else n/2 for n in nums if n%2==0 or n>5 ]
list2 = []
for n in nums:
# even numbers get squared
if n%2 == 0:
list2.append(n**2)
# odd numbers >5 are divided by 2
elif n>5:
list2.append(n/2)
print(list1,'\n',list2)
Hiii
# DDC-39: List comprehension to for-loop
nums = range (1,16)
results = []
for num in nums:
if num%2 ==0:
results.append (num**2)
elif (num>5 or num%2==0):
results.append(num/2)
print (results)
