Code Engine in Python for Beginners

Question

Hey guys,
My code for the given task is the following but for any reason thats not 100% correct. Can anybody explain me why and help me? :)

def search(text,word):

for x in range (0 , len(text)):

if text[x] == word[0]:
i = 1

for y in range(1 , len(word)):
if text[x + i] == word[y]:
i += 1
if word[len(word)-1] == text[x + len(word)-1]:
return("Word found")

if x == len(text)-1:
return("Word not found")

text = input()
word = input()

print(search(text, word))

Answer 1

Your code is too complicated, keep it simple.

For this code practice, I don't think you even need a function, you can ask for 2 separate inputs and then see if required word is inside an initial text

Answer 2

Have a look at the previous lesson again and pay attention to the "in" operator: It checks if a substring is _in_ a string.

Please do not give ready-made code without any explanation.

Answer 3

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

text = input()
word = input()
search(text, word)
Try this code
