How can i ensure a particular word in user input in python

For ex var=input("Say Something:") // Input was "I love apples" how to ensure that user input has "apples" in var ??

And if you want even more accurracy, use the regex module: import re if re.search(r"\bapples\b", input("Say something")) is not None: print("You've typed the word apples in your sentence.") RegExp is a powerful language tool for text handling: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/regex.html

if "apples" in var: //Do aomething I would first make var all upper or lower case letters with upper() or lower()... That would make Apples, APPLES, apples, ApPLe's, etc all work when you check them

If you want to make sure it's a whole word (if "apples" in var: would also match "applesauce"), try this: if "apples" in var.split(): //
