Finding groups of increasing numbers in a list

Question

The aim is to find groups of increasing/monotonic numbers given a list of integers. Each item in the resulting group must be of a +1 increment from the previous item

Answer 1

A (really) simple implementation:

x = [7, 8, 9, 10, 6, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
result = []
current = x[0]
temp = []
for i in xrange(1, len(x)):
    if (x[i] - current == 1):
        temp.append( x[i] )
    else:
         if (len(temp) > 1):
             result.append(temp)
         temp = [ x[i] ]
    current = x[i]
result.append(temp)

And you will get [ [7, 8, 9, 10], [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5] ]. From there, you can get the number of increasing numbers by [ len(x) for x in result ] and the total number of numbers sum( len(x) for x in result).
