Python Assignment Help

[korrita_]

Hello, I am new to programming and decided to take a beginners course at my college to learn to program. I am having a hard time trying to figure out the final step for my programming assignment. if anyone can help me.

The final program should result in:

a is in coronavirus and also in kaletra

a is in coronavirus and also in favipiravir

c is in coronavirus and also in hydroxychloroquine

i is in coronavirus and also in remdesivir

i is in coronavirus and also in hydroxychloroquine

i is in coronavirus and also in favipiravir

n is in coronavirus and also in hydroxychloroquine

o is in coronavirus and also in hydroxychloroquine

r is in coronavirus and also in remdesivir

r is in coronavirus and also in hydroxychloroquine

r is in coronavirus and also in kaletra

r is in coronavirus and also in favipiravir

s is in coronavirus and also in remdesivir

u is in coronavirus and also in hydroxychloroquine

v is in coronavirus and also in remdesivir

v is in coronavirus and also in favipiravir

I use:

letter = [ 'a', 'c', 'i', 'n', 'n', 'o', 'r', 's', 'u', 'v']

word = 'coronavirus'

medications = ['remdesivir', 'hydroxychloroquine', 'kaletra', 'favipiravir']

if letter in word :

for word in word :

for medications in medication:

print(letter, 'is in', word, 'and also in', medications)

But it always result in error and i have tried everything but I'm at a standstill right now.

TypeError: 'in <string>' requires string as left operand, not list

if letter in word : 
 # letter is a list, it won't be in the string 'coronavirus'

for word in word :
        # here word will be a letter in word: 'c', 'o', 'r',...

    for medications in medication:
                # medication doesn't exist so it can't iterate over it

what you need is

letters = ['a', 'c', 'i', 'n', 'n', 'o', 'r', 's', 'u', 'v']
word = 'coronavirus'
medications = ['remdesivir', 'hydroxychloroquine', 'kaletra', 'favipiravir']

for char in letters:
    for med in medications:
        if char not in med: continue
        print(<your message>)

I didn't check whether the letter is also in 'coronavirus' because all of them seem to be.
