why does it print "ooh"
for letter in "You got this!":
if letter in "oh":
print(letter)
Can someone explain to me how I should be reading this code? Line by line please.

But the "if" causes it to print only letters "h" and "o".
So what you see is the "o" from "You", followed by the "o" from "got", and finally the "h" from "this".

30 PointsThank you, Steven, That was what I thought, but I was not sure.

The code says for each letter in "You got this!"
Only IF there's a letter in "oh"? (also doesn't make any sense to me)
