Splits values into two groups, based on the result of the given `filter` list.
- Use a list comprehension and `zip()` to add elements to groups, based on `filter`.
- If `filter` has a truthy value for any element, add it to the first group, otherwise add it to the second group.
```py
def bifurcate(lst, filter):
return [
[x for x, flag in zip(lst, filter) if flag],
[x for x, flag in zip(lst, filter) if not flag]
]
```
```py
bifurcate(['beep', 'boop', 'foo', 'bar'], [True, True, False, True])
# [ ['beep', 'boop', 'bar'], ['foo'] ]
```
