Remember those advanced list tricks? Let’s use them to process inventory.

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

What You’ll Learn:
βœ… Create and manipulate matrix data
βœ… Flatten and filter with nested comprehensions
βœ… Rotate rows ↔ columns with zip(*matrix)
βœ… Highlight low-stock items with dynamic thresholds

Tech Concepts:

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

Sample Task:

πŸ“Œ Bonus Challenge:
Detect which rows or columns are all zero β€” and flag them for restocking.

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