Print and for loop in one line

问题

Is there any alternative one liner for this simple code block:

n = int(input())
for i in range(n):
    print(i**2)

I tried:

print(i**2 for i in range(int(input())))

It takes an input, but gives the following error:

<generator object <genexpr> at 0x00000000032D3E60>

My problem is a little bit different than this qs. That qs helped print items in a list whether I need print them in newline.

As Jon and Patrick mention, that's not an error, it's what happens when you print the __repr__ of a generator expression.

So you just need to "splat" that generator. :)

print(*(i**2 for i in range(int(input()))), sep='\n')

demo output

In that demo I entered 10 at the input prompt.

In the comments I wondered how the speed of i * i compares to i ** 2. On my old 2GHz 32 bit single core machine, running Python 3.6.0, i * i is around 3 or 4 times faster than i ** 2. Here's some timeit code.

from timeit import Timer

commands = {'mul' : 'num * num', 'pow' : 'num ** 2'}

def time_test(num, loops, reps):
    timings = []
    setup = 'num = {}'.format(num) 
    for name, cmd in commands.items():
        result = Timer(cmd, setup).repeat(reps, loops)
        result.sort()
        timings.append((result, name))

    timings.sort()
    for result, name in timings:
        print(name, result)

loops, reps = 100000, 3
num = 1
for _ in range(10):
    print('num =', num)
    time_test(num, loops, reps)
    num <<= 1

You should wrap the expression into [] in order to have a list comprehension.

print([i**2 for i in range(int(input()))])

If you want to print the results line by line just use extended iterable unpacking operator.

print(*[i**2 for i in range(int(input()))], sep = '\n')

回答3:

This is no error. Your statement inside the print(...) is a generator expression - the string representation of it is printed - thats what you deemed an "error".

You can convert it by feeding it into a list:

print(list(i**2 for i in range(int(input()))))

or by iterating it:

print(*(i**2 for i in range(int(input()))))

The last one will lead to an output (for input() = 5) of:

0 1 4 9 16

as each result of the generator is passed to print and printed with the default sep=' ' which you could change to '\n' - see PM 2Ring's post

回答4:

This prints each i**2 on a separate line as your code does:

print('\n'.join(str(i**2) for i in range(int(input()))))
