Merging Two Nested Lists in Python: A Simple Guide

When working with lists in Python, especially nested lists, you may find yourself needing to merge or compare elements across those lists. For instance, you might have two lists that contain sublists, each holding pairs of values—like letters and their corresponding numbers. This post will walk you through how to efficiently loop through these nested lists and merge them based on certain conditions.

The Problem

Let’s say you have the following two nested lists:

You want to compare the second element of each inner pair in T1 and T2. When these elements match, you’d like to merge the corresponding elements into a new structure. For example, if T1[0][0][1] equals T2[0][0][1], you'd want to create a tuple (or list) containing both matching values.

However, you may encounter issues with looping through these lists effectively, especially if you want to avoid running several nested loops or running into index errors.

The Solution

The goal is to loop through both lists and find matches without running into index out-of-range errors. Below, I will provide a clear and concise way to accomplish this task.

Step-by-Step Instruction

Here’s a function that achieves the desired result using nested loops:

Define the Function: Start by creating a function that accepts both lists as parameters.

Initiate a Result List: Create an empty list to hold the results of the merged values.

Nested Loops: Use nested loops to iterate through each sublist and each value.

Comparison Logic: Apply the logic to check if the second elements of the sublists match and, if they do, merge them.

Implementation

Here’s the code:

Expected Output

When you run the above function with the provided lists, the output will be:

This output shows the merged tuples where the second elements of the pairs matched.

Conclusion

Merging two nested lists efficiently can save time and prevent errors when working with complex data structures. By using nested loops wisely and ensuring proper conditions for merging, you can create a clean and effective algorithm without needing advanced libraries.

Now, you're equipped to handle similar tasks in Python! Happy coding!
