Function that checks if the list contains a given as parameter value

Question

So basically I want to write a function which checks if the list contains a given as parameter value.

For example:

l = ['ala', 'bala', 'alabala']

your example isn't really helpful. Either way, what have you tried so far to tackle this? Show your attempts if you have any. — Dimitris Fasarakis Hilliard, Jun 06 '17 at 16:54

Simple function:

def isIn(item, list):
   return(item in list)

l = ['ala', 'bala', 'alabala']
print(isIn('bala',l))

As an example. Please google the answer before posting the question, or try to show what you have tried in the future.

Better idea: Don't google solutions, but try to learn Python with the [tutorial](https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/index.html). – Matthias Jun 06 '17 at 17:13
