-The operators :keyword:`in` and :keyword:`not in` test for set membership.  ``x

-``x not in s`` returns the negation of ``x in s``. The set membership test has

-is a sequence and contains an element equal to that object.  However, it is

 For the list and tuple types, ``x in y`` is true if and only if there exists an
 index *i* such that ``x == y[i]`` is true.
