How to multiply all integers inside list

Try a list comprehension:

l = [x * 2 for x in l]

This goes through l, multiplying each element by two.

Of course, there’s more than one way to do it. If you’re into lambda functions and map, you can even do

l = map(lambda x: x * 2, l)

to apply the function lambda x: x * 2 to each element in l. This is equivalent to:

def timesTwo(x):
    return x * 2

l = map(timesTwo, l)

Note that map() returns a map object, not a list, so if you really need a list afterwards you can use the list() function afterwards, for instance:

l = list(map(timesTwo, l))

Thanks to Minyc510 in the comments for this clarification.
