python: how to check the integer input by user match the item in the list of not?

I have a scenario. I have a list with ID like result = ['003234568', '000000001', '123456789'].

I want to ask user to input ID and loop until ID is unique. I try this one but doesn't get expected output.

result = ['003234568', '000000001', '123456789'].
playersID = int(input ("Enter ID of the player: "))
while playersID in result:
    print ("players id already exist, please enter new one")
    playersID = int(input ("Enter ID of the player: "))

I don't want to use any other libraries.

Your result is a list of strings and you are taking input as integer, that's why playersID is never in result. You need to change the input lines to the following:

Change

playersID = int(input("Enter ID of the player: "))

To

playersID = input("Enter ID of the player: ")
