python - How to recode line so an exact sentence must be in the list for it to match -

x = ["cookie flavored water yummy 6", "coding complicated 16", "help 7"]  in x:     if "flavored" in x:         print ("yes")     else:         print ("no") 

i want exact string "cookie flavored water yummy" in list acceptable don't want 6 part included. i'm befuddled on how accomplish this. objective might change first element different element.

you're iterating on x i check if string belongs list, not element, false.

to check if element of x contains "cookie flavored water yummy"

x = ["cookie flavored water yummy 6", "coding complicated 16", "help 7"]  in x:     print ("yes" if "cookie flavored water yummy" in else "no") 

on other hand, exact string match use in without loop, loop being made on x in operator:

print ("yes" if "cookie flavored water yummy" in x else "no") 

if need exact string match on great number of elements, consider putting elements in set instead because lookup time smaller (hashing involved). code remains same apart that.
