You are an expert programmer. Solve the task exactly as specified. Output your solution as fenced code blocks using the required file name(s) and the exact function/type signatures requested. Prefer correctness; do not include prose outside code unless asked.

To solve this problem, we need to filter a list of strings such that only those strings containing a specified substring are included in the result. The solution should be efficient and handle all edge cases, including an empty input list and an empty substring.

### Approach
The approach to solve this problem involves the following steps:
1. **Iterate through each string in the input list**: For each string, check if it contains the specified substring.
2. **Check for substring presence**: Use Python's `in` keyword to determine if the substring is present in the string.
3. **Construct the result list**: Include each string in the result list if it contains the substring.

This approach can be efficiently implemented using a list comprehension, which iterates through each string and includes it in the result if it contains the substring. This method is both concise and efficient, with a time complexity of O(n * m), where n is the number of strings and m is the average length of the strings.

### Solution Code
```python
from typing import List

def filter_by_substring(strings: List[str], substring: str) -> List[str]:
    """ Filter an input list of strings only for ones that contain given substring """
    return [s for s in strings if substring in s]
```

### Explanation
- **Function Definition**: The function `filter_by_substring` takes two parameters: `strings`, a list of strings, and `substring`, the substring to look for.
- **List Comprehension**: The function uses a list comprehension to iterate over each string in the input list. For each string, it checks if the substring is present using the `in` keyword.
- **Result Construction**: Strings that contain the substring are included in the resulting list, which is then returned.

This solution efficiently filters the list and handles all specified cases, ensuring correctness and optimal performance.

Okay, I need to solve this Python problem. Let's read the task carefully.

The function is called filter_by_substring. It takes two arguments: a list of strings called strings, and a substring which is a string. The goal is to filter the list so that only the strings that contain the substring are kept.

Hmm, so for each string in the input list, I need to check if the substring is present anywhere in it. If it is, include it in the output list; otherwise, exclude it.

Let me think about the examples given. The first example is when the input list is empty, so the output is empty. That's straightforward.

The second example is ['abc', 'bacd', 'cde', 'array'] with substring 'a'. The output is ['abc', 'bacd', 'array']. Let's see why. 'abc' contains 'a', 'bacd' has 'a', 'cde' doesn't, and 'array' has 'a's. So the function correctly includes those.

So the approach is to iterate over each string in the input list and check if the substring is a part of that string.

How do I do that in Python? Well, for each string s in strings, I can use the 'in' keyword to check if substring is in s. So if substring in s is True, then include s in the result.

So the function can be implemented by creating a new list that includes each string s where substring is in s.

Let me outline the steps:

1. Initialize an empty list to store the results.
2. Loop through each string in the input list.
3. For each string, check if the substring is present.
4. If it is, append the string to the result list.
5. After processing all strings, return the result list.

Wait, but in Python, I can make this concise using a list comprehension. So the function can be written as:

return [s for s in strings if substring in s]

That's much cleaner and efficient.

Now, considering edge cases. What if the substring is an empty string? Well, according to the problem statement, the substring is a string, but it could be empty. If the substring is empty, then every string in the list should be included because an empty string is a substring of every string. But I'm not sure if the problem expects that. Looking at the examples, the substring is non-empty, but the function should handle all cases.

Another edge case: if the input list is None. But according to the function signature, strings is a List[str], so it's expected to be a list, possibly empty, but not None. So we don't need to handle that.

What about case sensitivity? The problem examples show that 'a' is matched in 'abc' and 'bacd', which are lowercase. So the function is case-sensitive. So 'A' would not match 'a' in the string.

So the function should be case-sensitive as per the problem statement.

Putting it all together, the function can be written as a list comprehension that checks for the substring in each string.

So the code would be:

def filter_by_substring(strings: List[str], substring: str) -> List[str]:
    return [s for s in strings if substring in s]

Testing this with the examples:

First example: filter_by_substring([], 'a') returns [], which is correct.

Second example: the list ['abc', 'bacd', 'cde', 'array'] with 'a' should return ['abc', 'bacd', 'array'], which matches the sample.

I think this should work. So the solution is to use a list comprehension that includes each string containing the substring.
