print array variables task in python

Question

I'm currently learning python and doing some basic tasks but I'm having difficulties with this code:

names = ["Terry", "Ben", "Mike"]
name = input("oya enter name ")
if names == name:
     print("Welcome " + name)
else:
     print("Who are you???!!!")

I'm trying to get the user to input a name and if the name is not in the array the code will print the else command but when I run the code and enter one of the names it does not work. Any solution please?

names = ["Terry", "Ben", "Mike"]
name = input("oya enter name ")
if name in names:
     print("Welcome " + name)
else:
     print("Who are you???!!!")

All you have to do is write name in names.

Also, using f-strings might be easier to read than string concatenation: `print(f"Welcome {name}.")`. – chubercik Feb 28 '23 at 00:55
