Returns a list of elements that exist in both lists, after applying the provided function to each list element of both.
|
|
|
|
- Create a `set`, using `map()` to apply `fn` to each element in `b`.
|
|
- Use a list comprehension in combination with `fn` on `a` to only keep values contained in both lists.
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
def intersection_by(a, b, fn):
|
|
_b = set(map(fn, b))
|
|
return [item for item in a if fn(item) in _b]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
from math import floor
|
|
|
|
intersection_by([2.1, 1.2], [2.3, 3.4], floor) # [2.1]
|
|
```
