Simplifying Multiple in Statements in Python

When working with Python, you might find yourself needing to check if multiple elements exist in a list. This is a common scenario, especially when handling collections of data. A question often arises: Is there a way to write two in statements in one? If you find yourself asking this, you're not alone! Let's delve into the problem and explore an effective solution that enhances your code's efficiency and readability.

The Problem at Hand

Consider the following code snippet where a list, n, contains some integers. You want to check if both 5 and 17 are in the list:

While this works perfectly fine, some Python developers look for a more concise way to express the same logic. The attempt to use the following line, however, does not yield the desired outcome:

The reason it fails is that the expression (5 and 17) evaluates to 17, and the check simply verifies if 17 is in the list n — not both values!

An Efficient Solution

A more elegant way to accomplish the task is to use the all() function in combination with a generator expression. Here's how you can do it:

Step-by-Step Breakdown

Define Your List: Start by defining your list.

Use the all() Function: The all() function will return True if all elements in the provided iterable are True.

Create a Generator Expression: Generate the items you want to check directly within the all() function.

Here's the complete solution:

How It Works

List Definition: You define your list n containing integers.

Generator Expression: The expression item in n for item in [5, 7] evaluates whether each item from the list [5, 7] is present in n.

All Check: The all() function checks if all results from the generator expression are True.

Benefits of This Approach

Conciseness: It streamlines your code by condensing multiple checks into a single function call.

Readability: It enhances clarity by explicitly stating that we're checking for all items within a list.

Conclusion

Using the all() function is a smart way to handle multiple in checks in Python efficiently. It not only simplifies your code but also makes it more readable for anyone who might work with your code in the future. So, the next time you need to verify the presence of multiple elements in a list, give this method a try! Happy coding!
