Examples of how to rotate items in a list with python:
Table of contents
Create a list
mylist = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
Rotate values in a list
To shift values in a list, a solution is to use deque
from collections import deque
create a new deque object
items_obj = deque(mylist)
For example, let's shift items by 2 to the right:
items_obj.rotate(2)
convert the object to a list:
new_list = list(items_obj)
gives
[6, 7, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Another example, shift by 3 to the left:
items_obj = deque(mylist)items_obj.rotate(-3)new_list = list(items_obj)new_list
gives the
[4, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2, 3]
