Create some data



In [1]:

    
word_list = ['Egypt', 'Watching', 'Eleanor']

vowels = ['A', 'E', 'I', 'O', 'U']

Create a for loop



In [2]:

    
# for each item in the word_list,
for word in word_list:
    # if any word starts with e, where e is vowels,
    if any([word.startswith(e) for e in vowels]):
        # then print is valid,
        print('Is valid')
    # if not,    
    else:
        # print invalid
        print('Invalid')









    



Is valid

Is valid
