How to check if a specific integer is in a list

Question

I want to know how to make an if statement that executes a clause if a certain integer is in a list.

All the other answers I've seen ask for a specific condition like prime numbers, duplicates, etc. and I could not glean the solution to my problem from the others.

Solution

Are you looking for this?:

if n in my_list:
    ---do something---

Where n is the number you're checking. For example:

my_list = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0]
if 1 in my_list:
    print 'True'

This answer is wrong. The first stanza produces: Test 1 False, Test 2 False, as one would expect intuitively from python. You should remove this answer, it makes no sense.

16 in [216] produces False; that is, @datashaman is correct; an int is not a string.

if isinstance(x , int): print(x) Should be? if isinstance(i , int): print(i)
