Python: Function that takes a sequence of numbers and determines whether all are different from each other
Unique Numbers Check
Write a Python function that takes a sequence of numbers and determines whether all the numbers are different from each other.
Visual Presentation:
Sample Solution:
Python Code :
# Define a function named test_distinct that takes a list 'data' as a parameter.
def test_distinct(data):
# Check if the length of the list is equal to the length of the set created from the list.
if len(data) == len(set(data)):
# If the lengths are equal, it means all elements in the list are distinct.
return True
else:
# If the lengths are not equal, there are duplicate elements in the list.
return False
# Call the test_distinct function with a list [1, 5, 7, 9] and print the result.
print(test_distinct([1, 5, 7, 9]))
# Call the test_distinct function with a list [2, 4, 5, 5, 7, 9] and print the result.
print(test_distinct([2, 4, 5, 5, 7, 9]))
Sample Output:
True False
Explanation:
The above code defines a function "test_distinct()" that takes a list as input. It checks if the length of the list is equal to the length of the set created from the list.
- If they are equal, it means all elements in the list are distinct, and the function returns 'True'.
- Otherwise, it returns 'False' indicating the presence of duplicate elements.
The code then calls this function with two different lists and prints the results.
