Splits values into two groups, based on the result of the given filtering function.
|
|
|
|
- Use a list comprehension to add elements to groups, based on the value returned by `fn` for each element.
|
|
- If `fn` returns a truthy value for any element, add it to the first group, otherwise add it to the second group.
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
def bifurcate_by(lst, fn):
|
|
return [
|
|
[x for x in lst if fn(x)],
|
|
[x for x in lst if not fn(x)]
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
bifurcate_by(['beep', 'boop', 'foo', 'bar'], lambda x: x[0] == 'b')
|
|
# [ ['beep', 'boop', 'bar'], ['foo'] ]
|
|
```
