How to Print Contents of All Nested Lists in Python

When working with data structures in Python, you often encounter nested lists. These are lists that contain other lists as their elements. If you're looking to print out all the contents of these nested lists, you might run into some challenges, such as duplications or incomplete displays. In this guide, we'll explore an effective way to print all the contents of nested lists without duplicates, using a recursive function.

The Problem

Suppose you have a complex list structure like this:

If you attempt to print the elements using a nested loop, it can lead to duplicated output. Here's a sample code that attempts to print elements but ends up printing some entries multiple times:

The output is cluttered with repetitions, making it challenging to read. So how do we resolve this issue?

The Solution

To effectively and correctly print all the elements of nested lists, we can use a recursive function that checks the type of each element. The key function to use here is isinstance(), which will help determine if an item is a list. If it is, we recursively call our function; if not, we print the item. Here’s how we can implement it:

Step-by-Step Implementation

Define the Function: Create a function that will handle the printing of nested lists.

Check the Type: Use isinstance() to check if the element is a list.

Recursion: If it is a list, iterate through its elements and call the function recursively.

Print the Element: If it’s not a list, print the element directly.

Here’s the Clean Code

Expected Output

When you run the above code with the provided nested list L, you should see the following clean output:

Conclusion

By implementing a recursive function with isinstance(), you can effectively print all elements from nested lists in Python without dealing with duplications. This method not only improves readability but also streamlines your code for better efficiency. So, the next time you work with nested lists, remember this technique to ensure a clean and clear output!

Feel free to experiment with your own nested lists and modify the printed content as needed. Happy coding!
