How to compare to two element of same list in python?

Question

I want to compare two element of same list in python.

Answer 1

list1 = [1,2,3,1]

print(list1[0]==list1[1])
#returns false
print(list1[0]==list1[3])
#returns true

Answer 2

def compare(lst,idx1,idx2):
return lst[idx1] == lst[idx2]

# when you don’t know the index, you can use an iterator. (e.g. itertools module)
