When working with multiple sequences that need to be combined, prefer higher-level iteration abstractions over nested loops. This improves code readability, reduces nesting depth, and helps prevent logical errors when managing multiple iterative dimensions.
When working with multiple sequences that need to be combined, prefer higher-level iteration abstractions over nested loops. This improves code readability, reduces nesting depth, and helps prevent logical errors when managing multiple iterative dimensions.
For example, instead of writing nested loops:
dtypes = [torch.int, torch.long, torch.short]
for count_dtype in dtypes:
for prob_dtype in dtypes:
# process with count_dtype and prob_dtype
Use itertools.product
for a cleaner approach:
dtypes = [torch.int, torch.long, torch.short]
for count_dtype, prob_dtype in itertools.product(dtypes, repeat=2):
# process with count_dtype and prob_dtype
Similarly, other Python constructs can simplify iteration patterns:
enumerate
when you need both index and valuezip
to iterate through multiple sequences in parallelreversed
, sorted
, or other builtin functions when applicableThese higher-level abstractions make algorithmic intent more evident and reduce opportunities for off-by-one errors or incorrect nested logic.
