Answer 1

You have a font problem. The code itself is working.

Answer 2

You are using slanted quotation marks - possibly you pasted the code from a Word document? If you are coding outside a code editor, use plain text.

letters = ['a', 'b', 'z']
if "2" in letters:
print("YES 2")
if "a" in letters:
print("YES a")

Answer 3

same as mine,but the font is correct
