Please what is wrong with this code (python)

Question

def search(text , word):
for x in text:
if x==word:
return ('Word found')
else:
return ('Word not found')
text = input()
word = input()

print(search(text, word))

Answer 1

Camy ,

there might be an issue by only using ... if word in text: ..., because this can also find substrings of a word.

see the 2 samples in the file ( as far as i know the code coach does work with the above version, but it is not correct from my point of view)

Answer 3

x is a single character when you iterate through text.

== compares for equality, so x == word will only be true, if they are the same

The task requires you only to check
if word in text
Re-read the lessons and pay attention to the "in" operator.

Answer 4

If it is search engine project then code goes like this

text =input()
word =input()
def search(text,word):
if word in text:
return "Word found "
else:
return "Word not found "
print(search(text,word))
