python - Return list of items in list greater than some value

Question

I have the following list

j=[4,5,6,7,1,3,7,5]

What's the simplest way to return [5,5,6,7,7] being the elements in j greater or equal to 5?

Answer 1

You can use a list comprehension to filter it:

j2 = [i for i in j if i >= 5]

If you actually want it sorted like your example was, you can use sorted:

j2 = sorted(i for i in j if i >= 5)

or call sort on the final list:

j2 = [i for i in j if i >= 5]
j2.sort()
