Python Program to Extract Rows of a matrix with Even frequency Elements

Given a Matrix, the task is to write a Python program to extract all the rows which have even frequencies of elements.

Examples:

Input: [[4, 5, 5, 2], [4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2], [6, 5, 6, 5], [1, 2, 3, 4]]
Output: [[4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2], [6, 5, 6, 5]]
Explanation: 
frequency of 4-> 4 which is even
frequency of 2-> 2 which is even
frequency of 6-> 2 which is even
frequency of 5-> 2 which is even

Method 1 : Using list comprehension, Counter() and all()

In this, count is maintained using Counter(), and all() is used to check if all frequencies are even, if not, row is not entered in result list.

Program:

Python3




from collections import Counter
 
# initializing list
test_list = [[4, 5, 5, 2], [4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2],
             [6, 5, 6, 5], [1, 2, 3, 4]]
 
# printing original list
print("The original list is : " + str(test_list))
 
# Counter() gets the required frequency
res = [sub for sub in test_list if all(
    val % 2 == 0 for key, val in list(dict(Counter(sub)).items()))]
 
# printing result
print("Filtered Matrix ? : " + str(res))


Output

The original list is : [[4, 5, 5, 2], [4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2], [6, 5, 6, 5], [1, 2, 3, 4]]
Filtered Matrix ? : [[4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2], [6, 5, 6, 5]]

Time Complexity: O(M*N)
Auxiliary Space: O(K)

Method 2: Using filter(), Counter() and items()

Similar to the above method, the difference being filter() and lambda function is used for the task of filtering even frequency rows.

Program:

Python3




from collections import Counter
 
# initializing list
test_list = [[4, 5, 5, 2], [4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2],
             [6, 5, 6, 5], [1, 2, 3, 4]]
 
# Printing original list
print("The original list is : " + str(test_list))
 
# Counter() gets the required frequency
# filter() used to perform filtering
res = list(filter(lambda sub: all(val % 2 == 0 for key,
                                  val in list(dict(Counter(sub)).items())), test_list))
 
# Printing the result
print("Filtered Matrix ? : " + str(res))


Output

The original list is : [[4, 5, 5, 2], [4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2], [6, 5, 6, 5], [1, 2, 3, 4]]
Filtered Matrix ? : [[4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2], [6, 5, 6, 5]]

Time Complexity: O(m*n), where m and n is the number of rows and columns in the list “test_list”.
Auxiliary Space: O(k), where k is the number of elements 

Method 3 : Using set() and count() methods

Python3




# Python Program to Extract Rows of a matrix with Even frequency Elements
# initializing list
test_list = [[4, 5, 5, 2], [4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2],
             [6, 5, 6, 5], [1, 2, 3, 4]]
 
# printing original list
print("The original list is : " + str(test_list))
res = []
for i in test_list:
    x = set(i)
    c = 0
    for j in x:
        if(i.count(j) % 2 == 0):
            c += 1
    if(c == len(x)):
        res.append(i)
# printing result
print("Filtered Matrix ? : " + str(res))


Output

The original list is : [[4, 5, 5, 2], [4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2], [6, 5, 6, 5], [1, 2, 3, 4]]
Filtered Matrix ? : [[4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2], [6, 5, 6, 5]]

Method 4 : Using set() and operator.countOf() methods

Python3




# Python Program to Extract Rows of a matrix with Even frequency Elements
# initializing list
import operator as op
test_list = [[4, 5, 5, 2], [4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2],
             [6, 5, 6, 5], [1, 2, 3, 4]]
 
# printing original list
print("The original list is : " + str(test_list))
res = []
for i in test_list:
    x = set(i)
    c = 0
    for j in x:
        if(op.countOf(i,j) % 2 == 0):
            c += 1
    if(c == len(x)):
        res.append(i)
# printing result
print("Filtered Matrix ? : " + str(res))


Output

The original list is : [[4, 5, 5, 2], [4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2], [6, 5, 6, 5], [1, 2, 3, 4]]
Filtered Matrix ? : [[4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2], [6, 5, 6, 5]]

Time Complexity: O(n*n )
Auxiliary Space:  O(n*n)

Method 5: Using nested for loop +all()

Python3




test_list = [[4, 5, 5, 2], [4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2], [6, 5, 6, 5], [1, 2, 3, 4]]
print("The original list is : " + str(test_list))
result = []
for sub in test_list:
    count = dict()
    for ele in sub:
        if ele % 2 == 0:
            count[ele] = count.get(ele, 0) + 1
    if all(val % 2 == 0 for val in count.values()):
        result.append(sub)
print("Filtered Matrix ? : " + str(result))

Output

The original list is : [[4, 5, 5, 2], [4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2], [6, 5, 6, 5], [1, 2, 3, 4]]
Filtered Matrix ? : [[4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2], [6, 5, 6, 5]]

Time Complexity: O(n*n)
Auxiliary Space:  O(n)

Method 6: Using only built-in Python functions

Python3




test_list = [[4, 5, 5, 2], [4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2],
             [6, 5, 6, 5], [1, 2, 3, 4]]
 
# printing original list
print("The original list is : " + str(test_list))
 
res = []
for row in test_list:
    counts = {}
    for elem in row:
        counts[elem] = counts.get(elem, 0) + 1
    if all(count % 2 == 0 for count in counts.values()):
        res.append(row)
 
# printing result
print("Filtered Matrix ? : " + str(res))


Output

The original list is : [[4, 5, 5, 2], [4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2], [6, 5, 6, 5], [1, 2, 3, 4]]
Filtered Matrix ? : [[4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2], [6, 5, 6, 5]]

Time complexity: O(n^2) where n is the size of the input list of lists. 
Auxiliary space: O(n) to store the resulting list of lists.
