Validating Email Addresses With a Filter - Hacker Rank Solution

You are given an integer  followed by  email addresses. Your task is to print a list containing only valid email addresses in lexicographical order.

Valid email addresses must follow these rules:

• It must have the username@websitename.extension format type.
• The username can only contain letters, digits, dashes and underscores.
• The website name can only have letters and digits.
• The maximum length of the extension is .
  

Concept

A filter takes a function returning True or False and applies it to a sequence, returning a list of only those members of the sequence where the function returned True. A Lambda function can be used with filters.

Let's say you have to make a list of the squares of integers from  to  (both included).

>> l = list(range(10))
>> l = list(map(lambda x:x*x, l))

Now, you only require those elements that are greater than  but less than .

>> l = list(filter(lambda x: x > 10 and x < 80, l))

Easy, isn't it?

Validating Email Addresses With a Filter - Hacker Rank Solution

     We can solve this using the regex and filter tools.

import re
lst = list()
for i in range(int(raw_input())):
    lst.append(raw_input())
print sorted(list(filter(lambda x: re.search(r'^[\w\d-]+@[A-Za-z0-9]+\.\w?\w?\w$',x),lst)))
