Hi friends,

Please, suppose that I have:

fr = [ 2,5,6]

Now I wanna check if a 4th element exists in the array, and the result would be NO, please is there a way to check it ?

Please note that I wanna check if an element exists in a certain position, not the element itself;

Thanks,

Andre

To check if a 4th element exists, you just need to determine the size of the list. The following line will check to see if a 4th element exists:

len(fr) >= 4

Note that even if you delete an item from the middle of your list, the indexes of the items after it will be shifted so that there are no gaps in your list.
