conditional statements - Is there a way of include multiple conditions in a Python next function?

Question

The general idea is that I want to find the first value in each list that meets any of two conditions. i.e.: ′

a = next((x for x in the_iterable if x > 3), default_value)

However, I want it to have multiple conditions, something like:

a = next((x for x in the_iterable if x > 3 or x-1 for x in the_iterable if x>2), default_value)

My code right now looks something like:

a = []
for x in iterable:
  if x>3:
    a.append(x)
    break
  elif x>4:
    a.append(x-1)
    break

Answer 1

Your code right now is much prettier, but this would work:

a = next((
 (x - 1 if x > 4 else x) 
 for x in the_iterable 
 if (x > 3 or x > 4)
), default_value)
