Challenge task 2 from the delete quiz

How do I add another variable name total? How do I assign the sum of current_count and upcoming_releases to total? I tried: name = total 14+2 = 16

delete.py 
current_count = 14
planned = 5
upcoming_releases = 2
del planned
14 + 2 = 16

just use the variable names like you would any number - if var1=4 and var2=5, you can put the value 9 in a new variable called total with total=var1 + var2
