How to check whether a list have specific value exist or not?

[praba kar]

Dear All
In Php we can find in_array() function
which function is mainly useful to check
whether a specific value is exist in the array
or not.

But In python In cannot find any function
like that. I want to check a list have specific
value or not. So If any one know regarding this
mail me

with regards
PRabahar

If you just want a boolean result you can use x in l:

>>> l = range(5)
>>> l [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> 3 in l True
>>> 42 in l

False
