How to compare two lists in Python?

There are multiple ways to compare 2 lists in Python and check they are Identical or not. Here we are going to use sum() + zip() + len() to perform this check.

  
# initializing our lists  
list1 = [1, 2, 4, 3, 5] 
list2 = [1, 2, 4, 3, 6] 
  
# printing lists 
print ("The first list is : " + str(list1)) 
print ("The second list is : " + str(list2)) 
  
# using sum() + zip() + len() to check if  
# lists are equal 
if len(list1)== len(list2) and len(list1) == sum([1 for i, j in zip(list1, list2) if i == j]): 
    print ("The lists are identical") 
else : 
    print ("The lists are not identical")
