Should I be using an if statement or a loop?
It’s me, your friendly Python noob!

Coverage for one-liner if statement
Static code analyzers for Python do not generate branches in the following case (one-liner if). Is this by design? Even coverage gives 100% coverage even if only one case is tested. Can anyone please shed some light on this? Answer The first comment says “does not create a control structure.” I don’t know what that means. Whether it’s one line

For example, how can I write the following code without using global variables? Answer One could ask what reasons you might have to structure
Python: Proper use of any() to check if one value of one array exists in another array?
In Python, I am trying to create an if statement that proceeds if one variable of one array exists somewhere in another list or array. Here is my basic code, which is supposed to check if any of the values within ids exist in follow_num: Despite my best attempts, and many versions of the above, I cannot get this to
