pclub_task_4's Issues

Pclub Task Submission

This is the modification pertaining to this issue.

The problem can be solved by first trimming all the extra spaces, if any, then tokenizing the given search term wrt spaces. Then we can check wether each of the tokenized word are contained in the student name at hand.

eg- Name = "Tambe Som Vishwas"
Search Term = "Som Tambe"
Words after tokenizing = ["Som","Tambe"]
Thus both the words are contained in the current name hence the name fits the criteria of the search.
