Program won't display string if it contains one string from list

I want to filter some strings I get. For example I have this string : 

str = "I just go on Facebook today"

With a list of banned words like this : 

banned_words = ["facebook", "Facebook", "Netflix"]

How could I do something like: "If none of the banned words are in the string", so I can process the string?

With some search I find the function any and try something like : 

if any(word not in str for word in banned_words):

But doesn't work at all :/

Solution

  • You should use the following 

    if not any(word  for word in banned_words if word in str):print(1)

    Note: Never use keywords as variable names. here str is a keyword. so, i suggest you to use some other variable name
