X1640: containsRoot(word)?

Write the method boolean containsRoot(String word) in Java that returns true if the string in word contains inside (see below) one of these roots:

"act", "form", "port", "view"

By contains inside we mean that the word cannot start nor end with the root. For example for the root act, the method returns true for inactive and proactive because the root act is embedded in the word, but it would return false for action and react because the root act either starts the word (action) or ends the word (react).

Note that you cannot use endsWith() nor startsWith() to do the comparison.

You may consult the Java String class to help you solve this problem.

Examples:

containsRoot("inactive") -> true

containsRoot("proactive") -> true

containsRoot("action") -> false

containsRoot("react") -> false
