Below is a demonstration of the same
def check_double_exists(my_list): for i in range(len(my_list)): for j in (my_list[:i]+my_list[i+1:]): if 2*my_list[i] == j: print("The double exists") my_list = [67, 34, 89, 67, 90, 17, 23] print("The list is :") print(my_list) check_double_exists(my_list)
Output
The list is : [67, 34, 89, 67, 90, 17, 23] The double exists
