Printing out a sorted list in Python?

Question

I have a list that is sorted by the length of strings in it. I want to print it out, without the brackets and commas. Or maybe even in columns like this:
One Five Three Letter
Two Four Seven Eleven

If anyone has an idea I would be most grateful!

Answer 1

i = 0
for word in words:
print(word + " ")
i += 1
if i == 4:
print("\n)

Answer 2

If you just want to print a list without the brackets and commas, you can use an asterisk to unpack the list (a.k.a the 'splat' operator.)

e.g.

print(*["one", "two", "three"]) # output -> one two three

Applying * on any iterable object, by placing it to the left of the object, produces the individual elements of the iterable. If applied on a list-like iterable, it produces the elements of the list in the order they appear in the list. If applied on a dict-like object, it produces the keys of the dict in the order you would get as if you iterated the dict.

Answer 3

@David a special output is wanted.
Given 100 words. Sort them by len.
Output as colums:
all words with same length in one col.
It is a nice challenge....

So what I am trying to do: enter 3-9 letters, check if they are letters and if there is 3-9 of the. Done
Take these letters, mix ‘em up, and for every “mixture” check in dictionery if it is there. Done. Put every hit in a list. Done. And the print it out nicely. Not sure how to do the last part

I’ll try sending a code so you see exectly.

This is my code.
Note that I am learning Python for one week so please don't laugh :P

Answer 10

Dic is not defined. Sorry... I’m a noob.
Also, how would I use regex in python. I want to say ‘start of line’ (with ^ caret)
I know with grep it would be ‘^word’

Answer 11

For example if I check if ‘gla’ is in dictionary, it would find it in glass and say ‘found it!!’ But gla is not a word.

If I were using grep I would use regex like
Grep ‘^gla\ ‘ dictionary

Answer 12

Thanks! Any idea how I would sort the output in columns?

Answer 13

Well it depends on the amount of words in the list. I made a program that finds all possible word out of the letter you give it. And I want the word to be outputted in columns depending on the amount of letters

Answer 14

So three letters in first column four in second etc...

Answer 15

Not sure how to do that :D

Answer 16

@vukan that makes every word from the list go to a new line.
