Hello, I am trying to make a code wich compares between 2 or several sequences (lists). It compares every element in a list with another list elements. For example, if we have a list_a=["a","b","c","d"] and list_b=["a","b"] I want to obtain a new list_c containing elements that match between these lists (a and b here), but, if for instance list_b were ["a","c"] the program must not store this data because they are not in same order.
Said this, I wrote this code but it doesnt work: if __name__ == "__main__": def compare(a, b): i = 0 j = 0 c1 = [] while a[i] == b[j]: c1.append(a[i]) j = j+1 i=i+1 return c1 cadena_1=raw_input("Introduce list 1 \n") cadena_2 = raw_input("Introduce list 2 \n") transf1=list(cad_1) transf2 = list(cad_2) print compare(transf1,transf2) Thank you -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
