How to Check if a List Contains a Specific Item

To check if a list contains a specific item, you can use the in keyword.

Example: Checking if a List Contains an Item

# Checking if a list contains an item
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
if "banana" in fruits:
    print("Banana is in the list.")
else:
    print("Banana is not in the list.")

Output

Banana is in the list.

Explanation: The in keyword checks if the specified item exists in the list and returns True or False. If 'banana' is in the list, the condition will be true, and the message will be printed.
