Python in Keyword Examples

Here’s a quick example to demonstrate how you can use the in keyword:

In this example, you use the in keyword to check whether "banana" is in the fruits list and get True. Similarly, you check for "orange," which isn’t in the list, and get False.

Next, you use in as part of a for loop that iterates over your list of fruits. Finally, you use in to create a list comprehension that builds a list of square values.
