Check if something from a list appears twice in a string

I have a code that checks if something from a list is in string: if any(x in string for x in list) But how do I check if it appears twice or more than twice

any(string.count(x)>=2 for x in lst) Will be true if at least 1 item in lst appears twice or more in string.

Kirill Vidov Something like this: s = 'Sololearn' l = ['a', 'o', 'l', 'r', 'n'] print([x for x in l if s.count(x) >= 2]) # will only print 'o' and 'l'

Exactly, I would use count() to determine if there is more than one occurence of an element in a collection.

Abhay if any(x in string for x in list) >= 2, but that doesn't work
