How to compare several unordered list and get the list names if there are matching values-CodePudding

I have several lists containing values. just like below.

Alc=['P-111127759','111157751','1123104714']
FItems=['1123104714','797917266','79791761','79791765','79791763']
kuVItem=['1110234713','161231437','756623557','1123104714','7630672177', '754955924','712969245','963176673','181104711']
Products=['7171523315','Pqw-805967111','1150596117','115596116']
WProducts=['PQ-4559678','7171523315','5505296117','755961146']

I basically want to find out the list names if there are any values similar in lists. For example, Alc, FItems, and kuVItem lists have the same value, "1123104714". So I basically want those names as pairs. I mean like this

['Alc', 'FItems'],['Alc', 'kuVItem'],['FItems','kuVItem']

Is there a way to do this in python?

Thanks in advance! Any help is appreciated!

CodePudding user response：

I assumed that the values are gonna be supplied through a dictionary(which is the only way I can think of for named values whose name change often).

Then just iterate through the keys, and for each key, compare the value with other entries. Since we just want to know if there is overlap, set.intersection() is a great tool for this.

My code ended up being:

my_dict = {
  'Alc':['P-111127759','111157751','1123104714'],
  'FItems':['1123104714','797917266','79791761','79791765','79791763'],
  'kuVItem':['1110234713','161231437','756623557','1123104714','7630672177', '754955924','712969245','963176673','181104711'],
  'Products':['7171523315','Pqw-805967111','1150596117','115596116'],
  'WProducts':['PQ-4559678','7171523315','5505296117','755961146']}


results = []
for key in my_dict:
  for key2 in my_dict:
    if key != key2:
      intersection = set.intersection(set(my_dict[key]), set(my_dict[key2]))
      if len(intersection) > 0:
        if [key2, key] not in results and [key, key2] not in results:
          results.append([key, key2])

print(results)

Which outputs [['Alc', 'FItems'], ['Alc', 'kuVItem'], ['FItems', 'kuVItem'], ['Products', 'WProducts']]
