You could just use a couple of in operators:

def both_in_list(lst, a, b):
    return a in lst and b in lst

list1 = [1,2,3,4,5,6]

list2 = [6,7,8,9,10]

if (6 in list1) and (6 in list2):

    print("The elements that you're looking for is there!")

else:

    print("One of the lists does not that the element you're looking for!")

Use the boolean `and`, not the bitwise `&`. – jonrsharpe Dec 01 '17 at 22:08

Used a couple in operators to do this.

    list = [2,4,8,14,16]
    if 2 in list and 4 in list
        print("2 and 4 are found in this list.")
    else:
        print("These numbers are not found in this list.")
