Using conditionals in comprehensions (2)
In the previous exercise, you used an if conditional statement in the predicate expression part of a list comprehension to evaluate an iterator variable. In this exercise, you will use an if-else statement on the output expression of the list.
You will work on the same list, fellowship and, using a list comprehension and an if-else conditional statement in the output expression, create a list that keeps members of fellowship with 7 or more characters and replaces others with an empty string. Use member as the iterator variable in the list comprehension.

Exercise instructions
- In the output expression, keep the string as-is if the number of characters is >= 7, else replace it with an empty string - that is,
''or"".
Hands-on interactive exercise
Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.
# Create a list of strings: fellowship
fellowship = ['frodo', 'samwise', 'merry', 'aragorn', 'legolas', 'boromir', 'gimli']
# Create list comprehension: new_fellowship
new_fellowship = [____ for ____ in fellowship]
# Print the new list
print(new_fellowship)
