List xor
Define a function named list_xor
. Your function should take three parameters: n
, list1
and list2
.
Your function must return whether n
is exclusively in list1
or list2
.
In other words, if n
is in both lists or in none of the lists, return False
. If n
is in only one of the lists, return True
.
For example:
list_xor(1, [1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]) == True
list_xor(1, [0, 2, 3], [1, 5, 6]) == True
list_xor(1, [1, 2, 3], [1, 5, 6]) == False
list_xor(1, [0, 0, 0], [4, 5, 6]) == False
==== SOLUTION ====
“`python
def list_xor(n, list1, list2):
       return (n in list1) != (n in list2)
# Test cases
print(list_xor(1, [1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6])) # Output: True
print(list_xor(1, [0, 2, 3], [1, 5, 6])) # Output: True
print(list_xor(1, [1, 2, 3], [1, 5, 6])) # Output: False
print(list_xor(1, [0, 0, 0], [4, 5, 6])) # Output: False

Explanation:
1. `def list_xor(n, list1, list2):`: This line defines a function named `list_xor` that takes three parameters: `n`, `list1`, and `list2`.
2. `(n in list1)`: This expression checks if `n` is present in `list1`.
3. `(n in list2)`: This expression checks if `n` is present in `list2`.
4. `return (n in list1) != (n in list2)`: This line returns `True` if `n` is exclusively in either `list1` or `list2`, but not in both. It does so by checking if `n` is present in one list but not the other using the inequality (`!=`) operator.
This function returns `True` if `n` is exclusively in one of the lists and `False` otherwise, as specified.
