How do I check if a list is a subset of another list in Python using a loop?

To check if a list is a subset of another list in Python using a loop, you can follow these steps: 1. Define a function to check if one list is a subset of another: - Create a function that takes two lists as arguments. - Use a loop to iterate over each element in the first list. - Check if each element is present in the second list. - If any element is not found, returnFalse. - If all elements are found, returnTrue. - Example:

1
2
3
4
5
6

def is_subset(list1, list2):
    for element in list1:
   if element not in list2:
  return False
    return True

2. Use the function: - Call theis_subset() function and pass the two lists you want to compare. - It will returnTrue if the first list is a subset of the second list, andFalse otherwise. - Example:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

list1 = [1, 2, 3]
list2 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

if is_subset(list1, list2):
    print("List1 is a subset of List2")
else:
    print("List1 is not a subset of List2")

By using a loop to iterate over each element in the first list and checking if it exists in the second list, you can efficiently determine if one list is a subset of another. This approach allows you to compare the elements of the lists sequentially, returningFalse as soon as a mismatch is found.
