can someone give example how to use str.contains() function in programmaticon V
i mean in python language
because in programmaticon V books only show how to use str.contains() in javaScript language
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.
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
return search in word
you don’t even have to put the if
.
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
(no offense @CryptiCrystal)
thank you so much @moonwatcher348 @CryptiCrystal solved
this is literally the same thing but it’s just not as neat
But your function doesn’t work as I said in Echo of war- string.contains() not working
