Python: Check if a substring presents in a given list of string values
Python List: Exercise - 119 with Solution
Write a Python program to check if a substring appears in a given list of string values.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
def find_substring(str1, sub_str):
if any(sub_str in s for s in str1):
return True
return False
colors = ["red", "black", "white", "green", "orange"]
print("Original list:")
print(colors)
sub_str = "ack"
print("Substring to search:")
print(sub_str)
print("Check if a substring presents in the said list of string values:")
print(find_substring(colors, sub_str))
sub_str = "abc"
print("Substring to search:")
print(sub_str)
print("Check if a substring presents in the said list of string values:")
print(find_substring(colors, sub_str))
Sample Output:
Original list: ['red', 'black', 'white', 'green', 'orange'] Substring to search: ack Check if a substring presents in the said list of string values: True Substring to search: abc Check if a substring presents in the said list of string values: False
