How do I check for an EXACT word in a string in python

Question

Basically I need to find a way to figure out a way to find the EXACT word in a string. All the information i have read online has only given me how to search for letters in

Answer 1

I suspect that you are looking for the startswith() function. This checks to see if the characters in a string match at the start of another string

"abcde".startswith("abc") -> true

"abcde".startswith("bcd") -> false

There is also the endswith() function, for checking at the other end.
