Hi, is it possible to create while loop, so it would exit if x equals one of values in the list. for example: while x == 1 or x == 2 or x == 3 or x == 4 or x == 5 Can it be conditioned to a list (or anything else) for example: while x == one of values of list(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) What would be the right way to write it?

well problem is that i have a list, which is quite long, and writing down each condition is quite boring and seems to be wrong...

That's why i deleted the reply. I am looking for a more elegant way now!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thing you could write something like that: while (value in List):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks it worked! in my case it was while (x not in list):
