Trouble with Has22 problem.

Problem: Given an array of ints, return True if the array contains a 2 next to a 2 somewhere. E.g: has22([1, 2, 2]) → True has22([1, 2, 1, 2]) → False has22([2, 1, 2]) → False My attempt: (Doesn't pass all conditions) https://code.sololearn.com/clKEVJ4Tgu11/?ref=app What could be the mistake? Also I believe that python has a potential to do this task in one line? So anyone expert in oneliners?

# Created by IQ >= 80; >> False lst1 = [3,5,5,6] lst2 = [3,2,2,7] def func(nums): for i in range(len(nums)-1): if nums[i] ==2: if nums[i] == nums[i+1]: return True return False print(func(lst1)) print(func(lst2))

It is wrong solution. Your func return True if it will receive value equal to 2. but you need to find two next to each other. Use indexes of value 2.

Or iter list and check for element[i] == element[i+1] == 2 And find a way to avoid indexerror

We find only num to or any mun next to each other?

def fun(a): return True if a[:2] == [2, 2] else fun(a[1:]) if a[2:] else False print(fun(a))

IQ >= 80; >> False No one. It simple and have a lot different solution. Good luck to learn!

IQ >= 80; >> False This is close, but not quite what you need. I still striggle with one-liners [print(lst[i]==lst[i+1]) if lst[i]==2 else '' for i in range(len(lst)-1)]

IQ >= 80; >> False Let me know if this works [print('true') if (lst[i]==2 and lst[i+1]==2) else '' for i in range(len(lst)-1)]

Rik Wittkopp Cool. But somehow can you convert it to return statement. Because the test support only function def

IQ >= 80; >> False I can get the one-liner to work with the def, & I changed the output to reflect True or False. Is it a neccessity to use return? Try this instead def twos(x): [print (True) if (x[i]==2 and x[i+1]==2) else False for i in range(len(x)-1)] (twos(lst))

def func(nums): i = 0 while i+1 < len(nums): if nums[i] == nums[i+1] == 2: return True break else: i+=1 return False print(func([4,1,2,2]))

Rik Wittkopp Thanks for the solution. I think this passed 90% of the condition. But it doesn't passed some hidden conditions.

Rik Wittkopp How to include only 2. This types of arrays didn't passed: [1,5,5,3]

Rik Wittkopp thanks, now it works. But how much brain cells do we need to do this in one line?
