How to check if a vector exists in a list in R?

To check if a vector exists in a list, we can use %in%, and read the vector as list using list function. For example, if we have a list called LIST and a vector called V then we can check whether V exists in LIST using the command LIST %in% list(V).
Consider the below list −

List<-list(x1=LETTERS[1:26],x2=1:50,x3=rpois(50,5),x4=rnorm(50),x5=rpois(50,2),x6=rnorm(50,5,1),x7=letters[1:26],x8=runif(50,2,5),x9=rexp(50,3.24))
