How to check all items of a list in python are equal to a?

Question

Ok in my script I need it that say base is an array but the ammount of numbers in it can be anything. I want something that can check all items of the list to see if all eliments = 5 heres an example

base = [5, 5, 5, 5]

What code can i use to return a statement that all the numbers are equal to 5.

Answer 1

Use the all -function:

if all(b==5 for b in base):
    do_something()

Answer 2

This is a possible short solution:

k = [5,5,5,5]
answer = 5
k == [answer for i in range(len(k))] # evaluates to True
