Count how many values in a list that satisfy certain condition

Question

I have the following list,

mylist = [\'0.976850566018849\',
 \'1.01711066941038\',
 \'0.95545901267938\',
 \'1.13665822176679\',
 \'1.21770587184811\',
 \'1.         


        

Answer 1

To count how many values in that list which is >= 1.3:

sum(1 for x in mylist if float(x) >= 1.3)

If you need to actually extract the list of numbers which satisfy the condition, just create that list with a list comprehension and do whatever you want with it:

a = [x for x in mylist if float(x) >= 1.3]
print a
print len(a)
