Python (functional programming, lambda functions)

Question 2: filter by name and height

In this function, we will be exploring the filter() function in python. Remember from readings that the filter function will return all elements of a list that satisfies a particular condition. This condition is passed into the filter function as the first argument in the form of a function (named or lambda).

Complete the function filter_by_name_and_height below. The function takes one parameter: people which is a list of dictionaries. Each dictionary in the list has two properties: name and height (height is in inches). Here is a sample structure of the list:

people = [ {'name': 'Andy', 'height': 180}, {'name': 'Bethany', 'height': 100}, {'name': 'Cassidy', 'height': 150} ] 

Complete the function filter_by_name_and_height below to return a list of people (i.e. dictionaries) whose name is greater than 4 characters and whose height is greater than 120 inches. In the example above, only Cassidy's dictionary would be returned since the name attribute is greater than 4 characters and the height attribute is greater than 120 inches. The return value would look like [{'name': 'Cassidy', 'height': 150}] Note: Make sure to cast the output of the call to the filter() function to a list() type since filter() returns a filter_object. Also, make sure to use the filter() function. The autograder will check if you have used the filter() function.
