Find indexes of repeated elements in an array (Python, NumPy)

Question

Assume, I have a NumPy-array of integers, as:

[34,2,3,22,22,22,22,22,22,18,90,5,-55,-19,22,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,23,53,1,5,-42,82]

I want to find

Answer 1

Using np.diff and the method given here by @WarrenWeckesser for finding runs of zeros in an array:

import numpy as np

def zero_runs(a):  # from link
    iszero = np.concatenate(([0], np.equal(a, 0).view(np.int8), [0]))
    absdiff = np.abs(np.diff(iszero))
    ranges = np.where(absdiff == 1)[0].reshape(-1, 2)
    return ranges

a = [34,2,3,22,22,22,22,22,22,18,90,5,-55,-19,22,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,23,53,1,5,-42,82]

zero_runs(np.diff(a))
Out[87]: 
array([[ 3,  8],
       [15, 22]], dtype=int32)

This can then be filtered on the difference between the start & end of the run:

runs = zero_runs(np.diff(a))

runs[runs[:, 1]-runs[:, 0]>5]  # runs of 7 or more, to illustrate filter
Out[96]: array([[15, 22]], dtype=int32)
