SyntaxError invalid syntax in inline function

Question

Hi Guys,

I am trying to perform one task using the list comprehension concept. But it is showing the syntax error.

  File "<ipython-input-9-f0c31b619ddf>", line 1
    m = [i*i for i in x if i>0 else 0]
                                 ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Hi@akhtar,

You need to write your if-else code before the for loop. But in your case, you have written after for loop. So you need to modify your code as shown below.

m = [i*i  if i>0 else 0 for i in x]
