20 extremely useful single-line Python codes

Hello everyone, in this article, I am sharing with you 20 Python one-liner codes that you can easily learn in 30 seconds or less. These one-liner codes will save you time and make your code look cleaner and more readable.

1.One-line For Loop

For loops are multi-line statements, but in Python, we can write for loops in one line using list comprehension methods. As an example, to filter out values less than 250, take a look at the following code example.

#For loop in one line
mylist = [200, 300, 400, 500]
#Single line For loop
result = [] 
for x in mylist: 
    if x > 250: 
        result.append(x) 
print(result) # [300, 400, 500]
#One-line code way
result = [x for x in mylist if x > 250] 
print(result) # [300, 400, 500]

2 .One-Line While Loop

This One-Liner segment will show you how to use While loop code in one line, with two different methods demonstrated.

#Method 1 Single Statement   
while True: print(1) #infinite 1  
#Method 2 Multiple Statements  
x = 0   
while x < 5: print(x); x= x + 1 # 0 1 2 3 4 5

3 .One-Line IF Else Statement

Alright, to write an IF Else statement in one line we will use the ternary operator. The syntax for the ternary is “[on true] if [expression] else [on false]”.

I have shown 3 examples in the sample code below to make it clear to you on how to use the ternary operator for a one-line if-else statement. To use an Elif statement, we must use multiple ternary operators.

#if Else In a single line.  
#Example 1 if else  
print("Yes") if 8 > 9 else print("No") # No  
#Example 2 if elif else   
E = 2   
print("High") if E == 5 else print("??????STUDIO") if E == 2 else   
print("Low") # Data STUDIO   
   
#Example 3 only if  
if 3 > 2: print("Exactly") # Exactly

4.Merging dictionaries in one line

This one-liner code segment will show you how to merge two dictionaries into one using a single line of code. Here, I’ve presented two methods for merging dictionaries.
