quest with tuples...

I wanted to write a program that accepts a sequence of numbers separated by commas and generates their list and tuples and checks if a given value is in a given list of numbers. E.g: 4 -> [1,4,3,7]: true -10 -> [1,4,3,7]: false

but in the end, the output is... ...far from intended and I am not sure what I have done wrong

values = input("Input some comma seprated numbers : ")
list = values.split(",")
tuple = tuple(list)
print('list : ',list)
print('Tuple : ',tuple)

number = print("")
searched_number = input("Please enter the number you are looking for: ")

for searched_number in tuple:
  print("True")
else:
  print("False")

thanks in advance!

It appears you want to use if instead of for in the last statement.

By using for you are looping through all the values in the tuple and printing True

ok ... but now it shows me an error "'tuple' object is not callable"

values = input("Input some comma seprated numbers : ")
list = values.split(",")
tuple = tuple(list)
print('list : ',list)
print('Tuple : ',tuple)

number = print("")
searched_number = input("Please enter the number you are looking for: ")

if searched_number in tuple:
  print("True")
else:
  print("False")

Be careful of assigning tuple = tuple(...) as this overwrites the definition of the tuple type!
