I have a list
a=[1,2,3,4,2,5,5,4,6,7,8]
I want to club the repeating elements together and my output should be
something like
a_new=[ [1], [2,2], [3], [4,4] , [5,5,5],[6], [7], [8]]
How do I do this?
I tried the following but it is not giving me the desired result
a=[1,2,3,2,3,4,5,4,5,5,6]
Output=[]
Unique=[]
Duplicate=[]
FinList=[]
for element in a:
if element not in Unique:
Unique.append(element)
else:
Duplicate.append(element)
for element in Unique:
if element in Duplicate:
count=0
for i in Duplicate:
if i==element:
count=count+1
for j in range(count+1):
FinList.append(element)
else:
FinList.append([element])
print Unique
print Duplicate
print FinList
*result:*
Unique=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Duplicate=[2, 3, 4, 5, 5]
FinList=[[1], 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, [6]]
I want the FinList as [ [1], [2,2], [3,3], [4,4] , [5,5,5],[6]]
