Check if multiple strings exist in another string

contains, list, python

Solution

You can use `any`:

a_string = "A string is more than its parts!"
matches = ["more", "wholesome", "milk"]

if any(x in a_string for x in matches):

Similarly to check if all the strings from the list are found, use `all` instead of `any`.

Problem

How can I check if any of the strings in an array exists in another string? For example: ``` a = ['a', 'b', 'c'] s = "a123" if a in s: print("some of the strings found in s") else: print("no strings found in s") ``` How can I replace the `if a in s:` line to get the appropriate result?
