Checking If a Value is Present in a Python List

In Python, checking whether a specific value exists in a list is a common operation. In this guide, we'll explore how to write a Python program that accepts a list of elements and a single value. The program will then determine if the given value is present in the list.

Let's dive into the example:

[[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]]

This program consists of three main parts:

is_value_present function: This function takes a list (lst) and a value (value) as parameters and returns True if the value is present in the list, and False otherwise.

get_list_from_user function: This function prompts the user to enter the number of elements in the list and then the individual elements. It returns the list of elements entered by the user.

get_value_from_user function: This function prompts the user to enter the value they want to check in the list.

Main program: It utilizes the functions above to get the list and value from the user, checks if the value is present in the list, and prints the result.

To run this program, copy and paste the code into a Python environment, execute it, and follow the prompts to enter the list elements and the value you want to check.

Now you have a complete Python program that checks if a given value is present in a list. Feel free to use and modify this example to suit your specific needs.
