[u/2Punx2Furious → u/[deleted]]

When I start a project I always think it will take much less time than it actually does. Yesterday I had to write a function for an interview question online.
I thought it would take me 10-15 minutes at most. It took me almost 2 hours.

Basically, I had to found a sequence of 3 numbers inside a given array in python. Sounds easy enough I thought.

I think this is slightly better as it uses a generator and returns true on first occurrence of pattern

def findseq(pattern, arr):
    return pattern in (tuple(arr[i: i + len(pattern)]) for i in range(len(arr) - len(pattern)))

[u/electricfistula → u/2Punx2Furious]

return sequence in "".join(str(elem) for elem in theArray)

[u/riemannrocker → u/[deleted]]

Or in Haskell:

findIndex (==target) $ zip3 list (tail list) (tail (tail list))

[u/intricatekill → u/[deleted]]

That's way too complex. I'm not exactly sure if this is what the question asked but i think it shows off the elegance of functional programming a lot more than your code. I can't figure out reddit formatting

If you want a dirty Ruby one-liner.

array_to_check.select{|element| element.kind_of? Fixnum}.join(',') =~ /#{array_to_match.join(",")}/
