NOT IN Operator (not in) in python


Definition:

It checks if a value is NOT present in a sequence. If it is not present, it returns True. Otherwise, it returns False.

Now you will clearly understand with the help of the diagram.

a (value) ────────────────┐
                           ↓
                  ┌─────────────┐
                  │     1, 2     │  ← (sequence / object)
                  └─────────────┘
  

Here, the value 3 is not present in the sequence.

Syntax:

a not in b

Example:

a = 3
b = [1, 2]

print(a not in b)

Output:

True
