Hey Kumar, nearly there -
List1 = ['Tyres','windsheild','A\CUnit','Model=Toyota_Corolla'] In other list I have : List2= ['Corolla','Accord','Camry'] for element1 in List1: for element2 in List2: if element2 in element1: #Do something here, usually a break or continue clause (Incidentally,'for element in list' is an easier version of for i in range(len(list)) when you don't need to use index numbers. It just steps element by element.) 'if x in y' works for strings within strings as well.
