Advanced Python list comprehension

Question

Given two lists:

chars = [\'ab\', \'bc\', \'ca\']
words = [\'abc\', \'bca\', \'dac\', \'dbc\', \'cba\']

how can you use list comprehensions to

Answer 1

Using zip:

[w for w in words if all([a in c for a, c in zip(w, chars)])]

or using enumerate:

[w for w in words if not [w for i, c in enumerate(chars) if w[i] not in c]]

Answer 2

A more simple approach:

yourlist = [ w for w in words for ch in chars if w.startswith(ch) ]

Answer 3

[w for w in words if all([w[i] in chars[i] for i in range(len(w))])]

Answer 4

This works, using index:

[words[chars.index(char)] for char in chars if char in words[chars.index(char)]]

Am I missing something?

Answer 5

Why so complex? This works as well:

[words[x] for x in range(len(chars)) if chars[x] in words[x]]

Answer 6

>>> [word for word in words if all(l in chars[i] for i, l in enumerate(word))]
['abc', 'bca']
