I have two lists as below:
a = ['abc','def', 'ghi'], b=['ZYX','WVU']
and want to confirm whether union of both lists is equal to superset
c = ['ZYX', 'def', 'WVU', 'ghi', 'abc']
I have tried following:
>>> print (c == list(set(b).union(c)))
>>> False
Can anybody show what I am missing here?
Just use set method because the items order in the lists are different and that's why you've received False as result.
print (set(c) == set(list(set(b).union(c))))
Another solution is to use Counter class. The Counter approach should be more efficient for big lists since it has linear time complexity (i.e. O(n))
from collections import Counter
Counter(c) == Counter(list(set(b).union(c))))
