Your explanations and voice are so relaxing. Thanks for the breakdown! Used it to teach someone else Python

Could you write the code that uses a list containing three characters and then asks a user to enter a character. The code will then search the list to see if the entered character is in the list or not. If it’s not in the list, then the user is asked to enter a different character. This loop keeps repeating until the user enters a character which IS present in the list.

Wish someone could have explained it in more plan English how to interpret the first solution which says " if not list1 ". I am new to python & was practising one of this exercise & I couldn't interpret this line that says if not list1, I mean if I am checking the length of the list I can still understand what I am trying to do with. this line goes above my head. It would have been good if you can read the statements in plain English to make a beginner understand this who has no programming background.
