# Write a Python program to count the number of strings
# where the string length is 2 or more
# and the first and last character are same from a given list of strings.
# Sample List : ['abc', 'xyz', 'aba', '1221']


def compare(a):
    ctr = 0
    for i in a:
        if len(i) > 2 and i[0] == i[-1]:
            ctr+= 1
    return ctr

a = ['abc', 'xyz', 'aba', '1221', 'aaa', 'asdasdsada']
for i in a:
    z = compare(a)

print(z)

Given a list of strings, return the count of the number of strings where the string length is 2 or more and the first and last chars of the string are the same.
def match_words(words):
ctr = 0

for word in words:
if len(word) > 1 and word[0] == word[-1]:
ctr += 1
return ctr

print(match_words(['kasthuri', 'amma', 'basil', '1221', 'malayalam']))

Can any one can solve in this instructions are given above plz tell me
