Python - Check if all the values in a list are less than a given value

In python data analysis, we sometime face a situation where we need to compare a given number with a list containing many values. In this article we need to fins if a given number is less than each of the values present in a given list. We are going to achieve it using the following two ways.

Using for loop

We iterate through the given list and compare the given value with each of the values in the list. Once all values from the list are compared and the comparison condition holds good in each of the step, we print out the result as Yes. Else the result is a No.

Example

List = [10, 30, 50, 70, 90]
value = 95
count = 0
for i in List:
   if value <= i:
      result = False
      print("No")
      break
   else:
      count = count +1
if count == len(List):
   print("yes")

Output

Running the above code gives us the following result −

yes

Using all()

The all method behaves like a loop and compares each element of the list with the given element. So we accomplish the comparison by just using all in an if else condition.

Example

List = [10, 30, 50, 70, 90]
value = 85
if (all(x < value for x in List)):
   print("yes")
else:
   print("No")

Output

Running the above code gives us the following result −

No
