Python not in operator

  • by

Python not in operator evaluates to true if it does not find a variable in the specified sequence and false otherwise. It works exactly the opposite way as the in operator works.

Python not in operator

A simple example code checks the presence of a specified value inside a given sequence (list, string, tuple) but its return values are opposite to that of the in operator.

list1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print(5 not in list1)  # False

s = "A is A"
print("is" not in s)  # False

tuple1 = (11, 22, 33, 44)
print(88 not in tuple1)  # True

Output:
