Answer 2

Looks like you copied and pasted the code and brought in some unwanted characters. I would copy and paste it into MS Word as plain text, then copy and paste it back into a blank new code in the Playground to get rid of them.

You may have to tidy up the spacing and indenting to get it running properly.

Answer 3

Regardless of the fact that there are invalid characters in the code, there is a much simpler way to do this task.

text = 'This is not a list'
sub = 'is'
print(text.count(sub))
# or in a nice formatting:
print(f'substring: "{sub}" appears {text.count(sub)} times in "{text}"')

Or copy to Notepad then directly to your destination, no need for the extra "paste as plain text" step as with MS Word.
