python - 通过在列表的开头而不是尾部添加来扩展 python 列表的最佳解决方案？

Question

你有

x = ['a', 'b', 'c']
y = [1, 2, 3]

并想在 x 的开头插入列表 y:

x = [1, 2, 3, 'a', 'b', 'c']

在 Python 中执行此操作的最佳解决方案是什么？

Answer 1

>>> x = ['a', 'b', 'c']
>>> y = [1, 2, 3]
>>> x = y + x

对于较小的输入大小，这个简单的解决方案的运行速度是使用 deque 的解决方案的两倍:

$ cat x1.py 
for i in range(1000000):
    x = ['a', 'b', 'c']
    y = [1, 2, 3]
    x = y + x

$ cat x2.py 
from collections import deque
for i in range(1000000):
    d = deque(['a', 'b', 'c'])
    d.extendleft(reversed([1, 2, 3]))

$ time python x1.py

real    0m1.912s
user    0m1.864s
sys     0m0.040s

$ time python x2.py

real    0m5.368s
user    0m5.316s
sys     0m0.052s

但是，对于更大尺寸的输入，它会变得更慢:

>python -m timeit -s "y = range(100000)" "x = list(xrange(10000000)); y+x"
10 loops, best of 3: 229 msec per loop

>python -m timeit -s "from collections import deque; y = range(100000)" "d = deque(xrange(10000000)); d.extendleft(reversed(y))"
10 loops, best of 3: 178 msec per loop
