Question

Write a function called is_present that takes in two parameters: an integer and a list of integers (NOTE that the first parameter should be the integer and the second parameter should be the list) and returns True if the integer is present in the list and returns False if the integer is not present in the list. You can pick everything about the parameter name and how you write the body of the function, but it must be called is_present. The code challenge will call your is_present function with many inputs and check that it behaves correctly on all of them. The code to read in the inputs from the user and to print the output is already written in the backend. Your task is to only write the is_present function.

Answer 1

Answer:

The function in python is as follows

def is_present(num,list):

    stat = False

    if num in list:

         stat = True

       

    return bool(stat)

Explanation:

This defines the function

def is_present(num,list):

This initializes a boolean variable to false

    stat = False

If the integer number is present in the list

    if num in list:

This boolean variable is updated to true

         stat = True

This returns true or false        

    return bool(stat)
