How to search for full name in List with name "incomplete"?

I wanted to do a Python program to find specific name in List:

Example using random names:

nomes = ['Melissa Renata Peixoto', 'Bruna Carla Henry Gomes', 'Carla Rosângela Brito', 'Carla Letícia Sebastiana Assis']

Using like this nomes.find("Carla")

Should appear in the output:

Carla Rosângela Brito
Carla Letícia Sebastiana Assis
Bruna Carla Henry Gomes

I tried to program like this:

while i != 4:
    x = nomes[i].find("Carla")
    if x == 0:
        print(nomes[i])
    else:
        pass
    i+=1

But there was no "Bruna Carla Henry Gomes" no output

  • it’s because you’re only taking cases where Carla is the first name (index=0). Use if!=-1 as a condition because the find returns -1 when substring is not found. Check this question:https://answall.com/questions/487894/qual-a-diferen%C3%a7a-among-the-m%C3%a9all-of-string-find-e-index-in-python

  • Another detail is that else: pass is unnecessary and can be removed - pass It’s basically the same as "does nothing" and usually serves to designate an empty block when language syntax requires you to have something. But how the else is not mandatory, and is not to do anything if you do not enter the if, then remove this else: pass from there. Finally, you can make it simpler: https://ideone.com/Re0U3U
