Instruction
Let's start with search algorithms. The search problem consists of finding out whether a given element is present in a data structure, such as a list or tuple. Python provides the very convenient in operator for such cases. You're already familiar with it:
names = ['Paul', 'John', 'Mark', 'Mike'] if 'John' in names: ...
The in operator simply checks if a given element is contained in a data structure. This is the search problem we mentioned.
Exercise
You are given a list of all prime numbers up to 100. Ask the user to enter a number.
Enter an integer from 1 to 100: {x}
Then, check if the user's number is in the list and print:
{x} is prime.
Or:
{x} is not prime.Stuck? Here's a hint!
Use the input() function to get a number from the user. Remember that the number you'll get will be a string, so use int() to convert it to an integer.
