	Really... Did you try at an interpreter prompt?

	Yes... BUT:

>>> y in str(range(10))
False
>>> str(range(10))
'range(0, 10)'
>>> "1 800 get charter" in "range(0, 10)"
False

	"y" is not a number, and neither is what you have on the right side.
You are asking if a string appears somewhere inside another string.
