Lesson 7. Two -dimensional arrays

Difficulty level:

Task«Counting of the harvest of apples»

💻 Python
The farmer decided to evaluate the apple crop in his garden. The garden is divided into areas located in the form of a rectangular grid. The farmer knows how many kilograms of apples are collected from each site. Help the farmer calculate how many sections the crop turned out to be larger than average, and how many & ndash; Less.

Input format

Two integers are introduced in the first line n & nbsp; and & nbsp; m & nbsp; & ndash; The number of lines and columns in the grid of the garden plots (1 & le; & nbsp; n , & nbsp; m & nbsp; & le; 100). Justify; "> in the following n & nbsp; lines are introduced by & nbsp; m of integers separated by & ndash gaps; The number of kilograms of apples collected from each site. The number of apples in each site is an integer from -100 to 100

Output format

take two integers through the gap & ndash; The number of sites on which the crop is larger than average, and the number of plots in which the crop is less than average. The average value is calculated throughout the garden, and not separately on lines or columns

Example

Input

3 4
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10 11 12

Output

6 6

Hint

min function

The min() function is your tool for quickly searching for the smallest element of several values or within a collection.

Syntax

min(iterable, *[, key, default])
min(arg1, arg2, *args[, key])
  • iterable: An iterable object (for example, a list, tuple, string, set).
  • arg1, arg2, *args: One or more arguments passed directly for comparison.
  • key (optional): A function that is applied to each element before comparison. The minimum will be searched based on the results of this function.
  • default (optional): The value that will be returned if iterable is empty. If default is not specified, an attempt to find the minimum in an empty collection will cause the error ValueError.

Usage examples

  • With a single iterable object:

    numbers = [3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9]
    print(min(numbers))  # Output: 1
    
  • With multiple arguments:

    print(min(3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9)) # Output: 1
    
  • With the key parameter: Searching for an element by any of its properties.

    words = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
    # Finding the word with the shortest length
    print(min(words, key=len))  # Output: 'apple'
    
  • With the default parameter: Safe handling of potentially empty collections.

    empty_list = []
    print(min(empty_list, default="empty"))  # Output: 'empty'
    

Useful tips and subtleties:

  • Comparing different types: Incomparable data types, such as a number and a string, cannot be compared. min(5, "hello") will cause the error TypeError.
  • How the key works: It is important to understand that key only changes the value for comparison, but returns the original element. In the example min(words, key=len), the lengths (5, 6, 6) are compared, but the word 'apple' itself is returned.
  • Using lambda functions with key: For complex comparisons, it is convenient to use anonymous lambda functions. For example, to find a dictionary with the minimum value by the key 'age':
    people = [{'name': 'John', 'age': 25}, {'name': 'Jane', 'age': 22}]
    print(min(people, key=lambda person: person['age']))  # Output: {'name': 'Jane', 'age': 22}
    
  • String comparison: The strings are compared lexicographically (in alphabetical order). min("a", "b", "A") returns 'A', since capital letters have a smaller code in the symbol table.

Function max()

The max() function works similarly to min(), but returns the largest element from the passed arguments or collection.

Syntax

max(iterable, *[, key, default])
max(arg1, arg2, *args[, key])

The parameters (iterable, arg1, arg2, *args, key, default) have the same value as in the min() function.

Usage examples

  • With a single iterable object:

    numbers = [3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9]
    print(max(numbers))  # Output: 9
    
  • With multiple arguments:

    print(max(3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9)) # Output: 9
    
  • With the key parameter:

    words = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
    # Finding the word with the longest length
    print(max(words, key=len))  # Output: 'banana'
    
  • With the default parameter:

    empty_list = []
    print(max(empty_list, default='N/A'))  # Output: 'N/A'
    

Useful tips and subtleties:

  • All the tips and subtleties applicable to min() are also relevant for max(): avoid mixing types, use lambda functions for complex keys and keep in mind the default parameter for empty collections.
  • If there are several identical maximum/minimum elements, the first one is returned. In the example, max(words, key=len) the words "banana" and "cherry" have the same length of 6, but max returns the first encountered 'banana'.

Function sum()

The sum() function is used to find the sum of numeric elements in an iterable object.

Syntax

sum(iterable, start=0)
  • iterable: An iterable object containing numbers (for example, a list, a tuple, a set).
  • start (optional): The initial value that is added to the total amount. The default value is 0.

Usage examples

  • Sum of list/tuple/set elements:

    numbers_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
    print(sum(numbers_list))  # Output: 15
    
  • Using the start parameter:

    numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
    # We start summing not from 0, but from 10
    total = sum(numbers, 10)
    print(total) # Output: 25 (10 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5)
    

Application to two-dimensional arrays (lists of lists)

sum() can be effectively used to process matrices, but with one important caveat.

  • Wrong approach: sum(matrix) will cause the error TypeError, as Python will try to add the initial value 0 with the list [1, 2, 3].
  • The right approach: You must first calculate the sum of each row, and then add these amounts.
    # Two-dimensional array
    matrix = [
        [1, 2, 3],
        [4, 5, 6],
        [7, 8, 9]
    ]
    
    # Sum of all array elements using a generator
    total_sum = sum(sum(row) for row in matrix)
    print(total_sum) # Output: 45
    

Useful tips and subtleties:

  • For numbers only: sum() only works with numeric types (int, float). An attempt to summarize a list of strings (sum(["a", "b"])) will result in a TypeError.
  • Summation True/False: True is interpreted as 1, and False as 0. This can be used to count the true values in the collection.
    bools = [True, False, True, True] # 1 + 0 + 1 + 1
    print(sum(bools)) # Output: 3
    
  • "Flattening" the list of lists: The start parameter can be cunningly used to combine lists, although it is less readable and efficient than other methods.
    list_of_lists = [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5]]
    flat_list = sum(list_of_lists, [])
    print(flat_list) # Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
    
    Warning: This method is not recommended for large lists due to poor performance.
