Hi Chris, Thanks for the reply. But I am interested in analysing the contents of just one list. For example,
list1=[1,2,3,4,5,6] So, the logical statement would probably be: if list1==(contains all same values), print "Same" ---->False if list1==(contains all different values), print "Different" ---->True I wanted to know here whether there is a command/function that can do exactly this. I hope I am more clearer than my last try! Thanks!
