How to find if a string contains another string

Hi,

Am new to python.
May someone please help me know this?

How can we check whether one big string contains another small string?

E.g.
bigstring="pyth on anaconda boa cobra"
smallone="boa"

If 0 == contains(bigstr ing,smallone):
print "Yes, boa is snake.."

Is there any function like "contains" or "exists" in python?
What are different alternatives we have?

Please help.

Thanks and Regards,
Ganesh

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
