Is there a way to print different list elements depending on input?-CodePudding

I have this python code

color = input("Color? ")
color_list = ["orange", "red", "green", "blue", "pink"]

if color in color_list:
    if color == "orange":
        print("This is orange")
    elif color == "red":
        print("This is red")
else:
  print("Color invalid")

Is there a way to print different elements of the list on the same print() so I don't have to write an elif: for every color on the list

Sorry if you couldn't understand me, I'm still learning English.

If you'd only print the name of the color if it's found in the list, then you can just

color = input("Color? ")
color_list = ["orange", "red", "green", "blue", "pink"]

if color in color_list:
    print(f"This is {color}")
else:
    print("Color invalid")

If you'd like to do something else, say, translate colors from English to Finnish, you could use a dictionary:

color_map = {
    "orange": "oranssi",
    "red": "punainen",
    "green": "vihreä",
    "blue": "sininen",
    "pink": "vaaleanpunainen",
}

color = input("Color? ")

if color in color_map:
    print(f"{color} in Finnish is {color_map[color]}")
else:
    print("Sorry, I don't know what that is in Finnish")

maybe your code can be shortened like this

color = input("Color? ")
color_list = ["orange", "red", "green", "blue", "pink"]

# check if the color is in the list
if color in color_list:
    # if there is, it means color is one of the colors from the list
    # so you just have to output it
    print("This is "   color)
else:
  print("Color invalid")
