Simply: name = input ("enter the name") if name in list: do sth it searches the name as you entered (whether upper or lower)

from my point of view it makes sense to store the names in correct spelling in the list as we have not full control how user will input a name for search, we convert both (name in list and input) temporarely for comparison to lower() or upper() or casefold() ''' lst = ['Nora', 'Frank', 'Lisa', 'Dany'] inp = 'franK' print('found') if inp.lower() in ''.join(lst).lower() else print('not found') # or instead printing: if inp.lower() in ''.join(lst).lower(): print('found') # do something

names = ["Jack", "Paul", "Sam"] find = input("Enter name:- ") if find.lower() in [x.lower() for x in names[:]]: print(True)

There are several functions to make a string completely uppercase or lowercase : string = "Hello" up = string.upper() #HELLO down = string.lower() #hello

use this code: str=input('please enter name: ') if str in list: if str.lower()==str: print('its lower') else: print('its upper')
