Initial list [5, 2, 7, 4, 6, 1, 3] Final [4, 4, 6, 16, 36, 0, 2]. How to get the final from the initial? result = [x**2 if x % 2 == 0 else x - 1 for x in a]

Original list: [5, 2, 7, 4, 6, 1, 3]

The resulting list is obtained as follows:

• If the number is even (x % 2 == 0), square it (x**2).
• If the number is odd, subtract 1 (x - 1).

Example in Python:

a = [5, 2, 7, 4, 6, 1, 3]
result = [x**2 if x % 2 == 0 else x - 1 for x in a]
print(result)  # [4, 4, 6, 16, 36, 0, 2]

Thus, for each element of the list, the condition is applied, and a new list is formed.
