I wanted to verify substring existence in a string and came up with:
if "haystack".find("needle") != -1:
But I would have prefered:
if "needle" in "haystack":
as in python.
Though we get:
Error: type mismatch: got (string, string) but expected one of: proc contains[T](s: Slice[T]; value: T): bool proc contains[T](x: set[T]; y: T): bool proc contains[T](a: openArray[T]; item: T): bool
note that if you import strutils
it starts to work.
You already gave the answer yourself, import strutils
to get the contains
proc for strings. Nim automatically used the contains
proc for the in
operator.
