How to Check whether a element exists in a python dictionary value which is a list?

Question

How to check whether '111' exists in dic1?

dic1 = {'images':[000,111,222,333,444],'name':['foo','bar','baz']}

I tried using List comprehensions but unable to get the boolean answer? I got the error 'int' object is not iterable.

@GaneshTata I am working an assignment on MongoDB and python. I got stuck at the problem which is similar to the above-mentioned piece of code.Thanks for your time. — Rahul Kodumuru

You can iterate over dict.values and check for existence:

dic1 = {'images':[000,111,222,333,444],'name':['foo','bar','baz']} print(any(111 in b for b in dic1.values()))

Output:

True
