define filter method

The filter() method in Python is used to select (filter) elements from an iterable (like a list,
tuple, etc.) based on a condition.

Definition:

filter() takes a function and an iterable, and returns only those elements for which the
function returns True.

Syntax:
filter(function, iterable)

 function → condition to test each element


 iterable → collection of elements (list, tuple, etc.)

Example 1: Filter Even Numbers


numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

even = list(filter(lambda x: x % 2 == 0, numbers))


print(even)

Output:

[2, 4, 6]

Example 2: Filter Strings Starting with Vowel


words = ["apple", "banana", "orange", "grapes"]

vowels = list(filter(lambda x: x[0].lower() in 'aeiou', words))


print(vowels)

Output:

['apple', 'orange']
