Basically, I'm trying to find out how to remove matching items from a list. But
there doesn't seem to be any information on how to go about doing this specific
function.
For example, what I want is:
let's say there is a list:
pHands[0] = ['ad', 'ac', 'as', 'ah', '7d', '8s', '9d', 'td', 'js', 'jd']
So up there, my list, which is named pHands[0] has ten items in it.
I'm trying to make a function where a search is initiated into the list and any
matching items with a first matching number/letter reaching four are removed
So in the end, ad, ac, as, ah (the four a's) will all be deleted/removed from
the list. I need the list to automatically detect if there are four matching
first letter/numbers in the items in the list.
The remaining list will be: pHands[0] = ['7d', '8s', '9d', 'td', 'js', 'jd']
>>> hands = ['ad', 'ac', 'as', 'ah', '7d', '8s', '9d', 'td', 'js', 'jd']
>>> from collections import Counter
>>> counts = Counter(hand[0] for hand in hands)
>>> counts
Counter({'a': 4, 'j': 2, 't': 1, '7': 1, '9': 1, '8': 1})
>>> counts.most_common()
[('a', 4), ('j', 2), ('t', 1), ('7', 1), ('9', 1), ('8', 1)]
So there are 4 aces.
>>> hands = [hand for hand in hands if hand[0] != 'a']
>>> hands
['7d', '8s', '9d', 'td', 'js', 'jd']
