List Comprehensions with Conditionals

#A method of making lists from other values.

#Defining a list and its contents at the same time.

# new_list = [ item for item in iterable ]

# new_list = [ item for item in iterable if conditional]

#An 'iterable' is an object that contains other objects within it.
#Lists, Dictionaries, Tuples, Sets, range(), and more.

#You can work backwards from a loop to create the comprehension and understand the logic.
#This is a good technique when you are still new to list comprehensions.

#Review:
hostnames = list()
for fqdn in fqdns:

print(hostnames)
print(hostnames2)

#You can also use a conditional statement at the end to filter values

# if you only want hostnames with 'kw' in the hostname...

#Example 1:
#Working with another list and filtering values
# performance counter for a script over time, you want to get all values over 3
counter = [1, 2, 5, 2, 3, 1, 6, 3, 7, 11, 2, 9, 2, 3, 1, 33, 3, 1, 5, 2, 5, 1, 3, 6, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 4]
high_counter = list()
for num in counter:
if num (greater than symbol) 3:

high_counter2 = [num for num in counter if num (greater than symbol) 3]

print(sorted(high_counter))
print(sorted(high_counter2))

#Example 2:
#Working with a dictionary and filtering values
# pull out the names of employees who are in the admins group

employee_info = [
{"name": "Sally", "title": "Marketing", "groups":["marketing", "leadership"]},
{"name": "Bob", "title": "Customer Service", "groups":["marketing", "customer service"]},
{"name": "Phil", "title": "Developer", "groups":["it", "development", "admin"]},

emp_info = list()
for employee in employee_info:
if 'admin' in employee['groups']:

emp_info2 = [employee['name'] for employee in employee_info if 'admin' in employee['groups']]

print(emp_info)
print(emp_info2)

#Example 3:
employee_info = {
"Sally": {"title": "Marketing", "groups":["marketing", "leadership"]},
"Bob": {"title": "Customer Service", "groups": ["marketing", "customer service"]},
