Python IF multiple “and” “or” in one statement

Question

I am just wondering if this following if statement works:

    value=[1,2,3,4,5,f]
    target = [1,2,3,4,5,6,f]
    if value[0] in target OR value[1] in targe         


        

Answer 1

Use parenthesis to group the conditions:

if value[6] in target and (value[0] in target or value[1] in target):

Note that you can make the in lookups in constant time if you would define the target as a set:

target = {1,2,3,4,5,6,f}

And, as mentioned by @Pramod in comments, in this case value[6] would result in an IndexError since there are only 6 elements defined in value and indexing is 0-based.
