Remember those advanced list tricks? Letโ€™s use them to process inventory.

๐Ÿ—‚ MINI PROJECT: Inventory Grid Processor
Goal:
Process a 2D list of item quantities from a warehouse grid.

What Youโ€™ll Learn:
โœ… Create and manipulate matrix data
โœ… Flatten and filter with nested comprehensions
โœ… Rotate rows โ†” columns with zip(*matrix)
โœ… Highlight low-stock items with dynamic thresholds

Tech Concepts:

  • Nested list comprehensions
  • * unpacking
  • zip(*matrix) to transpose
  • Basic filtering + totals

Sample Task:

๐Ÿ“Œ Bonus Challenge:โ€จDetect which rows or columns are all zero โ€” and flag them for restocking.

Want more? I write Python how-tos at [Novaxis] โ€” no fluff, just clean backend logic.
