Determine if all elements in a list are present and in the same order in another list

Question

How do I create a function sublist() that takes two lists, list1 and list2, and returns True if list1 is a s

Answer 1

here is a better solution using regex:

import re


def exiSt(short,long):
    r = ''.join(["(.*"+str[x]+")" for x in short])
    return re.match(r,','.join([str(x) for x in long])) == None

long = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
short1 = [1,2,5]
short2 = [1,5,3]

exiSt(short1,long)
>> True

exiSt(short2,long)
>> False
