What is the shortest way to check for several elements in a python list?

Question

Say I have this list: list = ["Coin", "Stick", "Coin"] I want to check if the list contains n amount of coins. What is the simplest method of doing this, without changing the original list?

I have tried if ["Coin", "Coin"] in list but that only works if the coins are next to each other.

You mean `list.count`? – Abdul Niyas P M Sep 02 '22 at 14:40 — Abdul Niyas P M, Sep 02 '22 at 14:40

Use the count method:

items = ["Coin", "Stick", "Coin"]
print(2 == items.count("Coin"))
