We can use Python in operator to check if a string is present in the list or not. There is also a not in operator to check if a string is not present in the list. l1 = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'A', 'A', 'C'] # string in the list if 'A' in l1: print('A is present in the list') # string not in the list if 'X' not in l1: print('X is not present in the list')Output: A is present in the list X is not present in the listRecommended Reading: Python f-strings Lets look at another example where we will ask the user to enter the string to check in the list. l1 = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'A', 'A', 'C'] s = input('Please enter a character A-Z:\n') if s in l1: print(f'{s} is present in the list') else: print(f'{s} is not present in the list')Output: Please enter a character A-Z: A A is present in the listPython Find String in List using count()We can also use count() function to get the number of occurrences of a string in the list. If its output is 0, then it means that string is not present in the list. l1 = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'A', 'A', 'C'] s = 'A' count = l1.count(s) if count > 0: print(f'{s} is present in the list for {count} times.')Finding all indexes of a string in the listThere is no built-in function to get the list of all the indexes of a string in the list. Here is a simple program to get the list of all the indexes where the string is present in the list. l1 = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'A', 'A', 'C'] s = 'A' matched_indexes = [] i = 0 length = len(l1) while i < length: if s == l1[i]: matched_indexes.append(i) i += 1 print(f'{s} is present in {l1} at indexes {matched_indexes}')Output: A is present in ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'A', 'A', 'C'] at indexes [0, 4, 5] You can checkout complete python script and more Python examples from our GitHub Repository.
