Answer 2

it depends on what you are meaning by "elements of string are in another string". unique or multiple? in same order or not? please clarify or make an example.

Answer 3

unique, not in the same order

Answer 4

strA = 'abcdef'
strB = 'abddc'
strC = 'adbcg'

def checkString (s1, s2):
for char in s1:
if char not in s2:
return False
return True

print (checkString(strB, strA)) #prints True
print (checkString(strC, strA)) #prints False
