Python: Check whether a list contains a sublist
Python List: Exercise - 32 with Solution
Write a Python program to check whether a list contains a sublist.
Sample Solution:-
Python Code:
def is_Sublist(l, s):
sub_set = False
if s == []:
sub_set = True
elif s == l:
sub_set = True
elif len(s) > len(l):
sub_set = False
else:
for i in range(len(l)):
if l[i] == s[0]:
n = 1
while (n < len(s)) and (l[i+n] == s[n]):
n += 1
if n == len(s):
sub_set = True
return sub_set
a = [2,4,3,5,7]
b = [4,3]
c = [3,7]
print(is_Sublist(a, b))
print(is_Sublist(a, c))
Sample Output:
True False

Python: Tips of the Day
Find current directory and file's directory:
To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:
import os dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)
To get the current working directory use
import os cwd = os.getcwd()
Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:
- The os and os.path modules.
- The __file__ constant
- os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
- os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
- os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
- os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
