Return list of items in list greater than some value

Question

I have the following list

j=[4,5,6,7,1,3,7,5]

What\'s the simplest way to return [5,5,6,7,7] being the elements in j greater o

Answer 1

A list comprehension is a simple approach:

j2 = [x for x in j if x >= 5]

Alternately, you can use filter for the exact same result:

j2 = filter(lambda x: x >= 5, j)

Note that the original list j is unmodified.
