Avoiding nesting two for loops
- by chavanak
Hi,
Please have a look at the code below:
import string
from collections import defaultdict
first_complex=open( "residue_a_chain_a_b_backup.txt", "r" )
first_complex_lines=first_complex.readlines()
first_complex_lines=map( string.strip, first_complex_lines )
first_complex.close()
second_complex=open( "residue_a_chain_a_c_backup.txt", "r" )
second_complex_lines=second_complex.readlines()
second_complex_lines=map( string.strip, second_complex_lines )
second_complex.close()
list_1=[]
list_2=[]
for x in first_complex_lines:
if x[0]!="d":
list_1.append( x )
for y in second_complex_lines:
if y[0]!="d":
list_2.append( y )
j=0
list_3=[]
list_4=[]
for a in list_1:
pass
for b in list_2:
pass
if a==b:
list_3.append( a )
kvmap=defaultdict( int )
for k in list_3:
kvmap[k]+=1
print kvmap
Normally I use izip or izip_longest to club two for loops, but this time the length of the files are different. I don't want a None entry. If I use the above method, the run time becomes incremental and useless. How am I supposed to get the two for loops going?
Cheers,
