I have been working on this problem for several days and I am not making
any progress. I have a group of 18 number, in ascending order, within a
list. They ranged from 1 to 39. Some numbers are duplicated as much as
three times or as few as none.
I started with one list containing the numbers. For example, they are
listed as like below:
a = [1, 2, 3, 3, 4]
I started off with using a loop:
for j in range (0, 5):
x = a[0] # for example, 1
How would I compare '1' with 2, 3, 3, 4?
Do I need another duplicated list such as b = a and compare a[0] with
either b[0], b[1], b[2], b[3], b[4]?
Or do I compare a[0] with a[1], a[2], a[3], a[4]?
In any event, if a number is listed more than once, I would like to know
how many times, such as 2 or 3 times. For example, '3' is listed twice
within a list.
TIA,
Ken
