Please could someone show me what I am doing wrong? Why is this not working?

Question

I have been trying the Search Engine challenge on the Python for beginners course, and I got stuck. I tried the code on an IDE and it worked well. Why isn't it working in this IDE? Here is the code;

#your code goes here
def search(text, word):
if word in text:
print("Word Found")
else:
print("Word Not Found")

print(search(input(), input()))

Answer 1

The reason sololearn doesn't accept it is that your print statements are not identical to the one asked for (capitalisation).
There is a bigger issue that sololearn does not check for: the task is to write a function that *returns* the result, not *prints* it.

Answer 2

search() doesn't return anything, that's why it outputs "None". Try just:

search(input(), input())

Answer 3

It all matters about how the input is given and what the exact output is. Please give examples of both

Answer 4

I see my error. Thank you very much

Answer 5

I tried that, but it didn't work. Like, it worked in the sense that when you enter a word not in the text, it prints "word not found", and when you enter a word in the text it prints "word found" , but why isn't it correct in the eyes of Solearn? I want to move on.

Answer 6

Victory Amadi,

def search(text, word):
for w in text:
if w == word:
print("Word Found")
return
print("Word Not Found")

search(input().split(" "), input())

Look at the above solution. "Don't forget to keep proper indentation."

Input:
hello world to everyone
world

Output:
Word Found
