also, searching through a set is done in O(1) time while searching through a list is O(n), so a set would be better for this scenario

No sane individual would start with that first if statement. First pass would be a for loop.

Please make more logical, real scenario problems and tricks :pp don't produce random things.

Same with for example several function outputs, when you wanna check if one of the inputs in a function gives a certain output like 4, you can do 4 in [foo(x), foo(y), foo(z)].

anyone who starts python could just loop through the list instead of manually write down each condition

[oida]

Wow and how does number==1 or number==2 or ... number==n check if number is in numbers?
People who don't know about the in-key word will properly use manual written loop but not this chained comperasion.

[ovi_snipes]

Isn’t the first if statement just checking if the int number is equal to 2? Not actually reading through numbers

[viatori]

print(list.index(2)) would tell you if a given number is in the list and where it's at, right?

[rkroll]

It’s the same thing either way but yeah it’s definitely more readable and less typing

[lguthrie]

Either this or you could do if numbers[number]:
