Search or check in string

Info:

In Python, you can use the keyword in to check if a character or a phrase is present in a string.

Example:

txt = "Moscow Mule is the best coctail."
print("best" in txt)

The code above will give a bool output. If it is present, it will output as True.

You can use it in an if statement. The statement below will print ONLY if free is present.

txt = "Moscow Mule is the best coctail."
if "free" in txt:
	print("Yes, 'free' is present.")

So the example above will give this output:

Yes, 'free' is present.

How about checking if it is NOT present?

Then in this case, you should use the keyword not in. Here's an example:

coctail = "Moscow Mule is the best coctail."
print*("Miami" not in coctail)

Obviously the example above will give True as a value since it is NOT present in the variable.

You can put it in an if statement as well like we did before. Here it is how:

coctail = "Moscow Mule is the best coctail in the world."
if "Miami" not in coctail:
	print('Miami" has nothing to do with this coctail.')
