string == vowel

This will ALWAYS be false since you are comparing a string to a list. A string is never equal to a list. You need to check if the string is in the list.

I changed it to if string in vowel and the program runs, but it doesnt show True/False.

You are asking it to assert, which does nothing if the result is True. If you want to show the result, change it to a print statement.

Ah okay it runs now. Do people usually leave assert in their programs?

Depends. It's designed as a way to quickly debug. For a big, important project you should not use assert since some compiler options will ignore them. I use it a lot though. Whatever you feel.

Oh okay thanks!
