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
Chunks a list into smaller lists of a specified size:
Example:
from math import ceil def tips_chunk(lst, size): return list( map(lambda x: lst[x * size:x * size + size], list(range(0, ceil(len(lst) / size))))) print(tips_chunk([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], 3))
Output:
[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]
