Remove a string from a list based on that string containing a certain character

Question

How do you write a function that removes a string from an array if that string contains a certain character

For an example you would be removing all strings that contain an 'a'.

my_list = ["apples", "plums", "oranges", "lemons"]

Answer 1

It is simple as follows:

def get_filtered_list(my_list, sub_string):
    return [string for string in my_list if sub_string not in string]

Answer 2

You can do this with list comprehension or a simple for loop, the key is you want to check if 'a' not in something, if there is an a you don't want it

print([i for i in my_list if 'a' not in i]) 

Expanded:

for i in my_list:
    if 'a' not in i:
        print(i)
