Str.contains function help

1

can someone give example how to use str.contains() function in programmaticon V

2

i mean in python language

3

because in programmaticon V books only show how to use str.contains() in javaScript language

4

JavaScript very important to say JavaScript and not Java, and it’s str.includes() in Javascript, so it must be showing you the Python version. :slight_smile:

5

you don’t need to use str.contains you can just use the in keyword. for example

word = "hello"
search = "h"
if search in word:
    return True
return False

this would return True because the letter h is in word. Otherwise, like in this example

word = "hello"
search = "a"
if search in word:
    return True
return False

this will return False because the letter a is not in word

6

return search in word you don’t even have to put the if.

7

good point it will return a boolean

@CryptiCrystal’s function doesn’t work, use mine:

def contains (word, letters):
    for i in range(len(word)):
        e = None
        for j in range(len(letters)):
            if word[i + j] == letters[j]:
                continue
            e = 0
            break
        if e == None:
            return True
    return False

:slight_smile: (no offense @CryptiCrystal)

But your function doesn’t work as I said in Echo of war- string.contains() not working
