Newbie Question re "TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'list' and 'int - sr12 - Apr-11-2019
def function_1(x):
if x < 0:
return -1000000000
else:
return (x ** (1-2)-1)/(1-2)
list = [1, 2, 3, 4,]
[function_1(i) for i in list] so I have a function (with a condition as above) -- the intent is to apply that function to each number in a list (and get a new list with the result). Getting stuck here with error: "TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'list' and 'int'"all help appreciated

The code shown doesn't produce the error shown
def function_1(x):
if x < 0:
return -1000000000
else:
return (x ** (1-2)-1)/(1-2)
my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4,]
print([function_1(i) for i in my_list])Output:[-0.0, 0.5, 0.6666666666666667, 0.75]list and please post the full error trace back when you have an error.

I get no error running your code.
Also, you shouldn't use list as a variable name. That name is a built-in, and by using it as a variable name you lose access to the built-in.

sorry was trying to recreate in a generic way when I'm getting error in a larger file. added a few steps and am now getting error again:

my_list2 = [2, 3, -5]
my_list3 = []
for x in my_list2:
my_list3.append([x * i for i in my_list])
print([function_1(i) for i in my_list3])

my_list3 is list of lists, so on line 14 when you iterate over my_list3 i is a list, i.e. you pass a list as argument to function_1

RE: Newbie Question re "TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'list' and 'int - sr12 - Apr-11-2019
OK yes, agree there. So how can I apply function_1 to each item in the list of lists? (keeping it in list of lists format)
