x = input("enter input: ")
if x == "hello":
print ("it does")
How would I detect if x has hello stored even if it has other charaters/strings?

This is as simple as using the in keyword.
x = "123hellomore"
if "hello" in x:
print("Hi there")
This only detects hello, if it is unobstructed so still in one word (not like "**hel*lo")

Thank you lighstack I appreciate it.

I'd be happy about an upvote if I helped you :)
If entered input is single string then x below will be array of one element, if entered input is space separated strings (string of strings) then x will be array of multiple strings, below code handles both options
x = input("Enter input: ").split()
for y in x:
if y=="hello"
print("it does")

I know this works but would you mind explaining how it works?
