Lists - some simple programs Now let's find the location of a given element inside a list: myList = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] toFind = 5 found = False for i in range(len(myList)): found = myList[i] == toFind if found: break if found: print("Element found at index", i) else: print("absent") Note: the target value is stored in the  toFind  variable; the current status of the search is stored in the  found  variable ( True / False ) when  found  becomes  True , the  for  loop is exited. Let's assume that you've chosen the following numbers in the lottery:  3 ,  7 ,  11 ,  42 ,  34 ,  49 . The numbers that have been drawn are:  5 ,  11 ,  9 ,  42 ,  3 ,  49 . The question is: how many numbers have you hit? The program will give you the answer: drawn = [5, 11, 9, 42, 3, 49] bets = [3, 7, 11, 42, 34, 49] hits = 0 for number in bets: if number in drawn: hits += 1 print(hits) Note: the  draw
