Yes there is.

That statement would work in Py2 as-is, but in Py3 it needs to be changed to:

if y in list(range(10)):

This give you a list not a string, but that's actually what you want here.  If you _really_ want 
a string, use join():  "".join(list(range(10)))

You are making yourself work several hundred times harder if you don't learn to use the 
interactive mode!

I would be GREATLY bothered by the fact that it is not standard Python -- it sounds like a poor 
course.  You also seems to imply that you are only using those on-line tools and don't have a 
real Python installed on your own system.  If so, that is an extremely bad choice.  And if so, 
stop everything until you do install it NOW (definitely Python 3).  Then you can play with 
things on your own system IN THE INTERACTIVE MODE!!!  That's when you will start actually learning.
