Correct syntax while using list functions in booleans

Question

I keep trying to use list function values in Boolean, like this:

num=list(range(100))
(num.index(40))==[40]:
print ('done')

But every time I get a syntax error in the second line

Answer 1

The problem is that the value at index 40 is an integer, not a list. Try:

num=list(range(100))
if num.index(40) == 40: # <-- Remove square brackets here
print('done')

As a side note, you can write the same thing like so:

num = range(100)
if num[40] == 40:
print('done')

Hope this helps :)

huuuh...this doesnt look right
try::
num=list(range(100))
if num.index(40)==[40]:
print('done')
