Here is a list of 10 python one-liners that saved a lot of my time while coding in Python.

  1. Find the maximum value in a list:
max_value = max([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])

2. Find the minimum value in a list:

min_value = min([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])

3. Reverse a string:

reversed_string = "Hello World"[::-1]

4. Concatenate a list of strings into a single string:

concatenated_string = " ".join(["Hello", "World"])

5. Check if a string contains a substring:

string_contains_substring = "Hello" in "Hello World"

6. Check if a list contains a value:

list_contains_value = 5 in [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

7. Sort a list in ascending order:

sorted_list = sorted([5, 2, 4, 1, 3]

8. Sort a list in descending order:

sorted_list = sorted([5, 2, 4, 1, 3], reverse=True)

9. Create a dictionary from a list of tuples:

dictionary = dict([("a", 1), ("b", 2), ("c", 3)]

10. Create a list of the keys in a dictionary:

keys = list(dictionary.keys())

I hope these one-liners will save you time and make your Python code more concise!
