Write a function, is_substring_of(potential_substring,
potential_superstring), that recieves two strings as
parameters. The function returns True
if the first string is in the second one, otherwise
the function returns False.
Note that we are testing your code
differently in this task, please only submit your function
definitions, without any code outside the functions! The
main python file, which handles input and output, is already
provided. You can download and place the main file in the same
directory as your python file. You can then run the main python
file we provide to try out the samples.
Input
The input consists of two lines, each containing a string.
Your function will be called with the two given strings as
parameters, with the first input string passed as the first
argument to the function, and the second input string passed as
the second argument. Each string will consist of $0$ to $80$ letters from the English
alphabet, spaces and the special characters ', ?, and !. You do not need to check this.
Output
The output of the function should be a value of type
bool, either True or False,
depending on whether the first string is a substring of the
second string.
This result will be printed as output, so the output will be
one line containing the value returned from calling is_substring_of, with the two input strings
passed as parameters.
The function is_substring_of will
be called exactly once, per execution of the program.
