filter(function or None, sequence) -> list, tuple, or string
Return those items of sequence for which function(item) is true. If function is None, return the items that are true. If sequence is a tuple or string, return the same type, else return a list.

filter(None, '101') # '101'

filter(None, [True,False]) #[True]

filter(None, [True, 0, 1, -1]) #[True, 1, -1]

filter(None, (True, 1, 0, -1, False)) #(True, 1, -1)

filter(lambda x: x, [-1, 0, 1]) #[-1, 1]

filter(lambda x: not x, [-1, 0, 1]) #[0]

def f(x):
  return True if x == 1 else False
filter(lambda x: f(x), [-1, 0, 1]) #[1]
