What the hell is a drop

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Skip. As in, "drop the first 5 elements of this iterable." dropwhile is "drop each element until the given predicate is satisfied." It's really not that obscure, I dunno what the original commenter is on about

Yeah, I'm not even a python dev, I knew what dropwhile did immediately from the name. Some people just don't want to learn anything new, ever.
