Access specific elements using itemgetter

itemgetter in Python can access specific elements from a list, tuple, or another sequence-like object by creating a callable object that retrieves the desired elements. To access specific elements from the list, we create a callable object using the itemgetter function and pass it the indices of the elements we want to retrieve. We can then call this object with the list an argument to retrieve the desired elements. 

itemgetter in Python can be extremely helpful when accessing a specific element or multiple elements from a list or other sequence-like object. It prevents you from writing more complex code using for-loops or list comprehensions. 

Here are a few ways itemgetter can help when accessing specific elements: 

• Accessing multiple elements at once: If you need multiple elements from a list or other sequence-like object, an itemgetter can help you quickly and easily retrieve them as a tuple. For example, suppose you have a list of tuples and want to extract the second element from each tuple. In that case, you can use itemgetter(1) to create a callable object that retrieves the second element and then pass each tuple in the list to this object to get the desired values. 
• Selecting specific columns from a list of lists: If you have a list of lists (e.g., a table of data) and need to extract specific columns, you can use itemgetter to select the desired columns and return a new list of lists with only those columns. This can be much more concise and readable than nested for-loops or list comprehensions. 
• Sorting a list by multiple criteria: If you need to sort a list by multiple criteria (e.g., first by last name and then by first name), you can use itemgetter to extract the values for each criterion and pass them to the sorted function as a tuple. This can be much more readable than writing a custom comparison function. 

Using itemgetter in these and other scenarios makes your code more concise, efficient, and easier to read and maintain. Using itemgetter can make your code more concise and readable by allowing you to express your intent more clearly. 

Here is an example of how to access a specific element using Itemgetter:
