We can check whether a value is in a list in Python using the in operator or alternatively we can check whether a value is not in a list using the not in operator.
in operator

fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'pear', 'orange']'banana' in fruits
True
To check whether 'grape' is a value in list fruits:
'grape' in fruits
False
not in operator
To check whether 'banana' is not a value in list fruits:
fruits = ['apple','banana','pear','orange']'banana' not in fruits
False
To check whether 'grape' is not a value in list fruits:
