Python filter() Method

Python filter() method is a built-in method. It returns an iterator by using a function that returns True for the given sequence.

filter(function, iterable)

Parameter	Description
function	A Function to be run for each item in the iterable
iterable	The iterable to be filtered

It returns an iterator.

Let’s first understand, how this method works and what does it return?

#Using filter() method to fetch even values from the list

list1 = [1,2,4,5,6,9]

#Defining method

def getiterable(list2):

if list2%2==0:

return True

else:

return False

#Calling filter method

result = filter(getiterable,list1)

for val in result:

print(val)

Output
