I need help with a python program.
So basically in python if the string contains the sub string and it occurs more than once I am supposed to return "yes", and if it doesn't occur more than once then i'm supposed to return "no". I need help on how to find the sub string within a string and whether or not it occurs more than once. I am not sure if I am supposed to use a if statement or not.
Use the built in method
count, it returns the number of substring occurrences in a stringSyntax: string.count(substring[, start, end])
Params:
Then you can test if the count is greater than 1
@Geocube101 If you would scroll down, It outputs all No's when I tried to incorporate your suggestion into the code.
substring = "aplus"
String = []
String.append("dog#cat#pigaplus")
String.append("pigs#apluscompsci#food")
String.append("##catgiraffeapluscompsci")
String.append("apluscatsanddogsaplus###")
String.append("###")
String.append("aplusdog#13337#pigaplusprogram")
String.append("code#H00P#code1234")
String.append("##wowgira77##eplus")
String.append("catsandaplusdogsaplus###")
String.append("7")
Iterations = len(String)
substr_count = String.count(substring)
for x in range(0, Iterations):
if substr_count > 1:
print('Yes')
else:
print('No')
@randyjgarcia You're using this method on a list, in which count will only test if an entire element equals the substring.
For using this in a list while testing if a list's string elements contain a subtring try...
This will store how many times each string in your list has a substring occurrence
The length of
occurrencesin this code should equal the length of your array@Geocube101 I understand everything you are saying, but when I do everything it compiles with no errors but doesn't output anything.
@randyjgarcia Can you link the repl?
@Geocube101 https://repl.it/@randyjgarcia/OptimalCulturedCategory
@Geocube101 Use this one https://repl.it/join/dwjyqwod-randyjgarcia
@randyjgarcia I think I got it
@Geocube101 OHHH okay I didn't know where to put the for string in String, thanks a lot you were a ton of help! its a cool little program right? lol
You're welcome @randyjgarcia
