Lists and Loops

There are two ways to loop over a list. The first way uses the in keyword, which can be used to check if a particular value is in a list, or to loop over the elements one at a time: 
numbers = [6, 8, 2, 9, 7]

print(6 in numbers) # True
print(0 in numbers) # False

for number in numbers:
  print(number)
# prints 6, 8, 2, 9, 7
The second way uses the range and len functions to loop over the list indexes, which is needed when changing the values in a list: 
numbers = [6, 8, 2, 9, 7]

for i in range(len(numbers)):
  numbers[i] = numbers[i] ** 2

print(numbers)
# [36, 64, 4, 81, 49]
