When "k" is Enough!

When "k" is Enough!

Given a list of items, some of which may be duplicated, create and return a new Iterable that is otherwise the same as items, but only up to k occurrences of each element are kept, and all occurrences of that element after those first k are discarded. Note also the counterintuitive but still completely legitimate edge case of k == 0 that has a well defined answer of an empty list!

Input: A list and an integer.

Output: List or another Iterable (tuple, iterator, generator).

Examples:

assert list(remove_after_kth([42, 42, 42, 42, 42, 42, 42], 3)) == [42, 42, 42]
assert list(remove_after_kth([42, 42, 42, 99, 99, 17], 0)) == []
assert list(remove_after_kth([1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2], 5)) == [1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2]

This task is taken from the course CCPS 109 Computer Science I, as taught by Ilkka Kokkarinen.

pip3 install checkio_client

Configure your tool

checkio --domain=py config --key=

Sync solutions into your local folder

checkio sync

(in beta testing) Launch local server so your browser can use it and sync solution between local file end extension on the fly. (doesn't work for safari)

checkio serv -d

Alternatevly, you can install Chrome extension or FF addon

checkio install-plugin
checkio install-plugin --ff
checkio install-plugin --chromium

Read more here about other functionality that the checkio client provides. Feel free to submit an issue in case of any difficulties.
