Identify if list has consecutive elements that are equal in python

Question

I\'m trying to identify if a large given list has consecutive elements that are the same.

So let\'s say

lst = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6]

Answer 1

My solution for this if you want to find out whether 3 consecutive values are equal to 7. For example, a tuple of intList = (7, 7, 7, 8, 9, 1):

for i in range(len(intList) - 1):
        if intList[i] == 7 and intList[i + 2] == 7 and intList[i + 1] == 7:
            return True
    return False
