Inspired by <a href="https://py.checkio.org/mission/all-the-same/publications/Tinus_Trotyl/python-3/all-the-same/">this solution</a>

Thanks for the credits tho, but you raised it to the superpythonical level :)

Very smart. You must be very good at mathematics.

print(allthesame({1,1})) there is the error: TypeError: 'set' object is not subscriptable

Even if you are inspired by someone else's task, this is very cool

According to my tests, (see Comparison of Solutions), I come to the conclusion that this method tests all couples, even in the case of a list like [0, 1, 2, 3], In an optimized test, the test 0==1 should break and return False.

It's perfect.

厉害,还可以这样解决,我只能想到Len(set(ls)) 拓展了我的思维

It's great have opportunity to come back and see such good solutions

This even works with nested lists.

<pre class='brush: python'>elements = [X1,X2,X3,X4,X5] elements[:-1] # [X1,X2,X3,X4] elements[1:] # [X2,X3,X4,X5] == compares a pair and then moves further: compares X1 with X2 and if they are equal, it will then compare X2 and X3 and so on. This solution works because of transitivity. If X1 == X2 and X2 == X3, then X1 == X3. In reality, you're always comparing X1 (which is equal to X2, X3, X4) to the next element. </pre> Good to learn how == works on lists and it's always useful to review your slices. It's a clever one liner, but I don't think it's clear just because it has few lines.

What do you mean 'in reality'? Equivalence relation is reflexive, symmetric and transitive. If you define `==` not as equivalence, you have to make all possible tests. Example: for `[X1, X2, X3]` if `==` means equivalence, you need 2 tests only: `X1 == X2` and `X2 == X3` (or `X1 == X3`) if not (you implemented `eq` in some weird way), 9 tests: `X1 == X1`, `X1 == X2`, `X1 == X3`, `X2 == X1`, `X2 == X2`, `X2 == X3`, `X3 == X1`, `X3 == X2`, and `X3 == X3`. Yes, you have to check whether X1, X2, and X3 are 'equal' to themselves!
