You can use the in operator on list with the if statement.
Let's discuss this with an example:
>>> Avengers= ['hulk', 'iron-man', 'Captain-America', 'Thor']
>>> if "iron-man" in Avengers:
print "yes "
yes
>>>
>>> if "vision" in Avengers:
print "yes "
>>>
In the preceding example, we check whether the particular value exists in the list or not. We check whether the strings, "iron-man" and "vision", exist in the Avengers list.
This way, you can use the in operator in a list.
