[Tutor] If - else Vs OR

[Manprit Singh]

Dear all,
Consider a problem in which there is a list a, which can contain even as
well as odd numbers.  For Example  a = [2, 3, 4, 6, 8]
Now  i have to  filter out all even numbers from this list, and make a new
list a1 that contains all odd numbers . In case,  if the list a does not
contains any odd number, then the  resultant will be an empty list , this
resultant list can be made by :
a1 = [ i for i in a if i%2 !=  0]
So, a1 will be empty if list a does not contain any odd number , and if
list a has one or more odd numbers then a1 will contain all those odd
numbers .
i have to write a program which will print "Empty List" if a1 is empty and
print list a1 if a1 is not empty :
i  am writing 2 solutions to this problem . My question is which one method
should be preferred
sol 1) :

a = [2, 3, 4, 6, 8]
a1 = [i for i in a if i%2 != 0]
if a1:
    print(a1)
else:
    print("Empty list")

sol 2) :

a = [2, 3, 4, 6, 8]
a1 = [i for i in a if i%2 != 0]
print(a1 or "Empty list")
