Python: Check if a nested list is a subset of another nested list
Python List: Exercise - 92 with Solution
Write a Python program to check if a nested list is a subset of another nested list.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
def checkSubset(input_list1, input_list2):
return all(map(input_list1.__contains__, input_list2))
list1 = [[1, 3], [5, 7], [9, 11], [13, 15, 17]]
list2 = [[1, 3],[13,15,17]]
print("Original list:")
print(list1)
print(list2)
print("\nIf the one of the said list is a subset of another.:")
print(checkSubset(list1, list2))
list1 = [
[
[1,2],[2,3]
],
[
[3,4],[5,6]
]
]
list2 = [
[
[3,4], [5, 6]
]
]
print("Original list:")
print(list1)
print(list2)
print("\nIf the one of the said list is a subset of another.:")
print(checkSubset(list1, list2))
list1 = [
[
[1,2],[2,3]
],
[
[3,4],[5,7]
]
]
list2 = [
[
[3,4], [5, 6]
]
]
print("Original list:")
print(list1)
print(list2)
print("\nIf the one of the said list is a subset of another.:")
print(checkSubset(list1, list2))
Sample Output:
Original list: [[1, 3], [5, 7], [9, 11], [13, 15, 17]] [[1, 3], [13, 15, 17]] If the one of the said list is a subset of another.: True Original list: [[[1, 2], [2, 3]], [[3, 4], [5, 6]]] [[[3, 4], [5, 6]]] If the one of the said list is a subset of another.: True Original list: [[[1, 2], [2, 3]], [[3, 4], [5, 7]]] [[[3, 4], [5, 6]]] If the one of the said list is a subset of another.: 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")
