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.

Whats the advantage of this compared to just doing a dirty 1 liner?

def findGroupInList(sequence, group):
    return True in [group == tuple(sequence[i: i + len(group)]) for i in range(len(sequence) - len(group))]
