I have a list of lists and each list has a repeating sequence. I'm trying to count the length of repeated sequence of integers in the list:
list_a = [111,0,3,1,111,0,3,1,111,0,3,1]
list_b = [67,4,67,4,67,4,67,4,2,9,0]
list_c = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,23,18,10]
Which would return:
list_a count = 4 (for [111,0,3,1])
list_b count = 2 (for [67,4])
list_c count = 10 (for [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0])
Any advice or tips would be welcome. I'm trying to work it out with re.compile right now but, its not quite right.
