Counting sublists in a list
list, python
Solution
>>> L = [2,4,5,6,2,1,6,6,3,2,4,5,3,4,5]
>>> s = [2,4,5]
>>> sum(1 for i in range(len(L)) if L[i:i+len(s)]==s)
2
Almost the same thing, slightly shorter (uses the fact that `True` can behave like the number `1`):
>>> sum(L[i:i+len(s)]==s for i in range(len(L)))
2
Problem
``` L=[2,4,5,6,2,1,6,6,3,2,4,5,3,4,5] ``` I want to know how many times an arbitrary sub-sequence shows up, `s=[2,4,5]` for instance would return 2 times. I tried `L.count(s)` but it does not work because I think it is expecting to look for something like `[random numbers ... [2,4,5] ... random numbers]` instead of `2,4,5` without the brackets.
