ok m making game poker card evaluator , storing values in list of list , each list containing values [rate,rank,max] or [1,2,3] question if want know players has hand mean list example comapring list list, if rate1==rate2(list2 in list of lists) have check rank same if condition true have go next value in same list , check other list having same first 2 values. if both lists equal equal else find greater one(rate,rank or max)

and infinite list dont know length of list , charcters

list1 == list2 return true, if every element in list1 equals corresponding element in list2.

for example:

>>> = [1, 2, 3] >>> b = [1, 2, 3] >>> == b true >>> = [1, 4, 3] >>> b = [1, 2, 3] >>> == b false 

list1 > list2 return true if, in first pair of unequal corresponding elements, element in list1 greater element in list2. true whether or not, in subsequent pairs of unequal corresponding elements, element in list2 greater element in list1.

>>> = [2, 2, 3] >>> b = [1, 3, 3] >>> > b true
