takewhile and filter

Question

so is there any difference between takewhile and filter functionay?

Answer 1

Ok after some research i have found that takewhile stops when the condition is not met while filter evaluate the whole list.

Answer 2

i guess that when you need to use takewihle you have to import it from itertools but filter is a pridefined function. I hope that help you make a deference ^^

Answer 3

Answer 4
