What about these alterations of the original?
Or for the last lambda:
If you do not mind iterators instead:
I like your approach, but what is the difference to mine other than yours requires a bit more code. I am not trying ro sound rude I just don't know the difference. is your approach faster? They look as if they both run in O(size) time so linear time.
Oh nevermind, I understand your alterations. the last one is very clever. Do you still have to import random for the last alterations?
