Hi All
The following reduce expression checks if every element of list lst1 is present
in list lst2. It works as expected for integer lists but for lists of strings,
it always returns False.
reduce( lambda x,y: (x in lst2) and (y in lst2), lst1)
Moreover, for the lists of strings the following for-loop gives correct results
when the above reduce expression doesn't.
isSublist = True
for i in lst1:
isSublist = isSublist and (i in lst2)
if not isSublist:
isSublist = False
break
Can someone help me understand why?
