What are membership operators in Python?
Saketh Jaggaiahgari
Other languages, like C and Java, do not have membership operators. These membership operators test for membership of an element in strings, lists, or tuples.
There are two membership operators in the Python Language:
| Operator | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| in | It evaluates true if it detects a variable in the sequence; else, it returns false | a in list b results in a 1 if a is part of b |
| not in | It evaluates true if it doesn’t detect a variable in the sequence; else, it returns false | a not in list b results in a 1 if a is not a part of b |
Code
lst = [10 , 20, 30, 40, 50]
print(lst)
if 10 in lst:
print("10 is available in the given list")
else:
print("10 is not available in the given list")
if 12 not in lst:
print("12 is not available in the given list")
else:
print("12 is available in the given list")RELATED TAGS
