Compare two files in Visual Studio

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Compare two files in Visual Studio I saw new comparsion tool in VS 2012 for comparing two files or two versions of file. I like it. But when I tried to find it I can't because I don't use TFS. Is there a way how can I just compare two files with builtin feature in VS but without TFS? Just as comment for further use: If you are working with vs2015, use this link: visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/tfvc/compare-files – Elnaz Apr 9 '17 at 12:08 Note this is still applicable for VS 2017. Hence, I have provided an answer how to deal with this issue comfortably. – Matt Aug 23 '17 at 15:47 ...

check if all elements in a list are identical

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP check if all elements in a list are identical I need the following function: Input : a list list Output : True False Performance : of course, I prefer not to incur any unnecessary overhead. I feel it would be best to: AND But I'm not sure what's the most Pythonic way to do that. EDIT : Thank you for all the great answers. I rated up several, and it was really hard to choose between @KennyTM and @Ivo van der Wijk solutions. The lack of short-circuit feature only hurts on a long input (over ~50 elements) that have unequal elements early on. If this occurs often enough (how often depends on how long the lists might be), the short-circuit is required. The best short-circuit algorithm seems to be @KennyTM checkEqual1 . It pays, however, a significant cost for this: checkEqual1 If the long inputs with early unequal elements don't happen (or happen sufficiently rarely), short-circuit isn't required. Then, by far the fastest is @Ivo van der Wijk s...
