Hello mate,

The String class has a method public boolean contains(CharSequence s). This method returns true if the string object contains the character sequence passed as the argument. CharSequence is an interface which is implemented by the String class, amongst others, hence you can pass a string as the argument when calling this method.

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String content = "Is the word this in this?";
        String partial = "this";
        System.out.println(content.contains(partial));
    }
}

Hope this helps
