I am trying to create a program that takes a list of numbers from the user and checks whether or not the first number given in repeated in the list
<p>i know i can use the input function in conjunction with the eval function to input a list of numbers:</p>

<pre><code>numbers = eval(input("enter a list of numbers enclosed in brackets: "))
</code></pre>

<p>Also, given a list named items, i  can get the list of all the elements of items, except the first one, with
the expression:</p>

<pre><code>items[1:]
</code></pre>

<p>im just not sure how to go about getting the program to do what i want it to do</p>
