How the code runs!

I am not getting the point how this below code runs and getting output. Please explain.

for letter in "You got this!":
    if letter in "oh":
        print(letter)

Output: o o h

Python follows the following steps:

  • Iterate (loop) through every letter in the string "You got this!"
  • On each iteration, check if the letter is either 'o' or 'h'
  • If it indeed is either 'o' or 'h', print out the letter

There's two Os and one H, so it prints o o h
