How can I find the index of an element inside a list using IF statements in Python 3.6+?

[SubhanUllah]

If you're sure the element is in the list, you really don't need an if statement…

fruits = ['Mango', 'Apple', 'Orange', 'Pear', 'Peach'] 
 
print(fruits.index('Pear')) 
But here you go…

fruits = ['Mango', 'Apple', 'Orange', 'Pear', 'Peach'] 
 
if 'Pear' in fruits: 
    print(fruits.index('Pear'))
