Searching in lists in a list python3

Question

Hey,
I have lists in a list for example:
List = [[“a,”b”],[“fed,”Fr”]]
and I like to check whether “fed” is in any of those list. Furthermore i’d like to do this in one line.

My solution so far:
if True in ([“fed” in i for i in List])

Any better solutions?

Answer 1

I would do this:

if any('fed' in sublist for sublist in List):
...

Answer 2

clemens, 'return' can only be used from within functions.

Answer 3

[Updated] You. an also use 2 for loops for that:

lst = [["a","b"],["fed","Fr"]]

for i in lst:
for j in i:
if "fed" in j:
res = True if "fed" in j else False
print(res)

Answer 4

Code is updated to show True or False.

Answer 5

Thanks for the answer. is there anyway, that i just get a True or False as a reasult?

Answer 6

why does something like this dont work?
[return True if 'fed' in x for i,x in enumerate([['a','b'], [ 'fed','fr']])]
