Python - Remove non-increasing elements

When it is required to remove non-increasing elements, a simple iteration is used along with comparison of elements.

Example

Below is a demonstration of the same

my_list = [5,23, 45, 11, 45, 67, 89, 99, 10, 26, 7, 11] print("The list is :") print(my_list) my_result = [my_list[0]] for elem in my_list: if elem >= my_result[-1]: my_result.append(elem) print("The result is :") print(my_result)

Output

The list is : [5, 23, 45, 11, 45, 67, 89, 99, 10, 26, 7, 11] The result is : [5, 5, 23, 45, 45, 67, 89, 99] 

Explanation

• A list is defined and is displayed on the console.

• The first element of the list is assigned to another list.

• The elements in the list are iterated over.

• Every element is compared with the last element and checked to see if they are greater than or equal to the first element of the list.

• If it is, then it is appended to the list.

• This is the output that is displayed on the console.
