def is_decreasing(words):
    for i in range(0, len(words) - 1):
        if len(words[i]) < len(words[i + 1]):
            return False
    return True


print(is_decreasing(['aaa', 'aa', 'a', '']))
print(is_decreasing(['', 'a', 'aa', 'aaa']))

Python Question Using lists, write the function non_unique(list) that takes a list list as argument. It returns a list which duplicated elements remains and each duplicated element is followed by a number which shows how many times it appears. All elements in return list should be in the same order as their appearance in the original list. For example, given the input [‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’, ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘d’, ‘a’,‘e’], the function would return [‘a’, 3, ‘b’, 2]. Another example, ['abc',...

Python please Write a function that takes a string as an argument checks whether it is a palindrome. A palindrome is a word that is the same spelt forwards or backwards. Use similar naming style e.g. name_pal. E.g. If we call the function as abc_pal(‘jason’) we should get FALSE and if we call it a abc_pal(‘pop’) we should get TRUE. Hint: define your function as abc_pal(str). This indicates that string will be passed. Next create two empty lists L1=[] and...

PYTHON: Write a function insertInOrder that takes in a list and a number. This function should assume that the list is already in ascending order. The function should insert the number into the correct position of the list so that the list stays in ascending order. It should modify the list, not build a new list. It does not need to return the list, because it is modifying it.   Hint: Use a whlie loop and list methods lst = [1,3,5,7]...
