Passing an array as an argument in Python

Question

I'm not sure if this is even possible but I'm trying to create a python program that identifies polynomials and identifies all the properties of them. I was trying to make a function similar to the switch() function, and the way that I was going to get around making hundreds of functions for each number of cases for arguments, I wanted to make one of the arguments an array, currently it's throwing me a bunch of errors and I really don't know what I'm supposed to be doing because they don't explain themselves, I've looked around and haven't found anything that works, any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm fairly certain there is a similar function in python but any articles on it are quite confusing, thank you, below is the function I was trying to make.

def switch(checked, check):
    for(item in check):
        if(item == check):
            return True
    
    return False

Answer 1

Did you mean this?

def switch(checked, check):
    for item in check:
        if item == checked:
            return True
    return False
