The program in Python

The function in Python where comments are used to explain each line is as follows:

#This defines the function

def checkList(nums,num):

   #This checks if num exists in nums

   if num in nums:

       #If yes, this returns the index of num

       return nums.index(num)

   #If otherwise, this returns -1

   return -1
