Hunting Inside Words 🔎

The word in asks: is this hiding inside that? It answers True or False, just like your other comparisons.

print("berry" in "strawberry")   # ➜ True
print("z" in "pizza")            # ➜ True
print("cat" in "dog")            # ➜ False

It works on whole sentences too, which makes it perfect for if:

message = "meet me at the treehouse"

if "treehouse" in message:
    print("Secret location detected! 🌳")

⚠️ Careful — in is fussy about capital letters. "Berry" in "strawberry" is False, because the big B doesn't match the little b.

Your mission

Build a snack detector!

1. Make a variable message and store any sentence you like in it
2. Use if with in to check whether message contains the word "snack" — print a reaction if it does
3. Add an else with a different reaction
4. At the end, print one direct check on its own, like print("berry" in "strawberry"), so you can see the True or False
