Question

Using Python

1. What will the following code display?

names = [‘Vernon’, ‘Cooper’, ‘Ronnie’, ‘Clay’]

if ‘Jordan’ not in names:

              print(‘Cannot find Jordan.’)

else:

              print(‘Jordan is a dog’)

              print(names)

Answer 1

Solution:

Since names list does not contain element name as 'Jordan', therefore, if condition will satisfy and output will be printed as Cannot find Jordan.

Code:

# defining names list with names of dogs
names = ['Vernon', 'Cooper', 'Ronnie', 'Clay']

# checking with if condition whether Jordan is in names list or not
# since 'Jordan' is not present in names list of dogs, we will go inside
# the if condition and execute the statement inside it.
if 'Jordan' not in names:
   print('Cannot find Jordan.')

# this condition will not get executed since if condition is satisfied.
else:
   print('Jordan is a dog')
   print(names)
