3. List comprehensions. In Python, it is possible to loop over all of the elements of a list using
something called a list comprehension. The syntax is given below for code that loops over each element of list_of_numbers
and computes each element's square root.
list_of_sqrts = [sqrt(number) for number in list_of_numbers]
Use a list comprehension to loop over the elements of list_of_numbers and divide each by 5.0.
a_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
# Loop over elements of a_list and divide each by 5.0.
a_new_list = [x/___ for ___ in ___]
# Print the new list.
print(a_new_list)
___
# Loop over elements of a_list and divide each by 5.0.
a_new_list = [x/5.0 for x in a_list]
# Print the new list.
print(a_new_list)
test_object("a_new_list")
success_msg("Excellent work.")
Review the definition of list comprehension provided in the problem description.
