I do not want to seem rude and stubborn, but how much faster is it to
highlight or emphasize it:
from random import randint
for i in [1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000]:
ls = [randint(0,1) for _ in range(i)]
%timeit [*filter(None, ls)]
%timeit [*filter(bool, ls)]
print()
272 ns ± 0.0346 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000000 loops each)
282 ns ± 0.0714 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000000 loops each)
283 ns ± 0.0645 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000000 loops each)
296 ns ± 0.116 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000000 loops each)
