python - 如何在嵌套列表中查找所有列表共有的元素？

Question

我有一个很大的嵌套列表，嵌套列表中的每个列表都包含一个格式为 float 的数字列表。然而，除了少数异常(exception)，嵌套列表中的每个单独列表都是相同的。我想提取嵌套列表中所有列表共有的数字。我的问题的一个简单示例如下所示:

nested_list = [[1.0,2.0,3.0,4.0,5.0,6.0,7.0,8.0,9.0,10.0,11.0,12.0,13.0,14.0,15.0],
              [2.0,3.0,4.0,5.0,6.0,7.0,8.0,9.0,10.0,11.0,12.0,13.0,14.0],
              [1.0,2.0,3.0,4.0,5.0,6.0,7.0,8.0,9.0,10.0,11.0,12.0,13.0,14.0],
              [2.0,3.0,4.0,5.0,6.0,7.0,8.0,9.0,10.0,11.0,12.0,13.0,14.0,15.0]]

在以下情况下，我想提取以下内容:

common_vals = [2.0,3.0,4.0,5.0,6.0,7.0,8.0,9.0,10.0,11.0,12.0,13.0,14.0]

我尝试使用集合交集来解决这个问题，但是因为我无法让它对嵌套列表的所有元素起作用。

Answer 1

您可以使用reduce 和set.intersection:

>>> reduce(set.intersection, map(set, nested_list))
set([2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, 14.0])

使用 itertools.imap 实现内存高效解决方案。

时序比较:

>>> lis = [[1.0,2.0,3.0,4.0,5.0,6.0,7.0,8.0,9.0,10.0,11.0,12.0,13.0,14.0,15.0],
              [2.0,3.0,4.0,5.0,6.0,7.0,8.0,9.0,10.0,11.0,12.0,13.0,14.0],
              [1.0,2.0,3.0,4.0,5.0,6.0,7.0,8.0,9.0,10.0,11.0,12.0,13.0,14.0],
              [2.0,3.0,4.0,5.0,6.0,7.0,8.0,9.0,10.0,11.0,12.0,13.0,14.0,15.0]]

              [2.0,3.0,4.0,5.0,6.0,7.0,8.0,9.0,10.0,11.0,12.0,13.0,14.0],

结论:

Steven Rumbalski 的 solution就效率而言显然是最好的。
