How to condense 'text' in x in if statement?

Question

I have a code in which there is a lineif y in x or f in x or h in x and so on. Even if it works, it seems to be very long. I tried if (y or f or h) in x and if [y,f,h]in x but nothing worked. Can anyone help?

Answer 1

Use any along with a generator expression:

y = 'y'
f = 'f'
x = 'x'

print(any(char in 'abcdex' for char in [y, f, x]))

Output:

True
