Greetings
I am attempting to compare the items in two lists across two criteria - membership and position. For example:
list_a = [ 0, 4, 3, 6, 8 ] list_b = [ 1, 8, 4, 6, 2 ]
Membership = There are 3 items that are common to both lists, that is 3 items in list_a have membership in list_b (viz: 4, 6, 8);
Position = There is 1 item in list_a that is also in the same position in both lists (viz: 6).
I have been playing around with for loops and iterations, but feel convinced that someone must have tackled this issue previously and who knows maybe even wrote a module/built-in that will do the trick.
I'm using Python-2.4.1
Thanks for any insights
