check if the string equals the first letters of a list of words-CodePudding

I am confused about a simple task

the user will give me a string and my program will check if this string equals the first letters of a list of words ( like this example)

>>> html_attr = ["onerror","onload"]
>>> example_task(html_attr,"on")
["onerror","onload"]
>>> example_task(html_attr,"one")
["onerror"]

should I use fuzzywuzzy here or what ?

thanks

CodePudding user response：

No need for some weird libraries, Python has a nice builtin str function called startswith that does just that.

def example_task(words, beginning):
    return [w for w in words if w.startswith(beginning)]

Fuzzywuzzy would come in handy if you don't want an exact match.
