Find String in a List using Python

When it is required to find the string in a list, a simple ‘if’ condition along with ‘in’ operator can be used.

Example

Below is a demonstration of the same

my_list = [4, 3.0, 'python', 'is', 'fun']
print("The list is :")
print(my_list)

key = 'fun'
print("The key is :")
print(key)

print("The result is :")
if key in my_list:
   print("The key is present in the list")
else:
   print("The key is not present in the list")

Output

The list is :
[4, 3.0, 'python', 'is', 'fun']
The key is :
fun
The result is :
The key is present in the list

Explanation

• A list of integers and strings is defined and is displayed on the console.
• A value for key is defined and is displayed on the console.
• An ‘if’ loop is used to check if the key is present in the list.
• If yes, the result is displayed on the console.
