You have the right idea. It's a syntax issue.

To add two number us the math operator + and not the logical and. The challenge asks to assign the sum to the variable total. This is done using the = sign:

total = current_count + upcoming_releases

Sometimes it can be a great help to re-watch the previous video(s) :-)

current_count = 14
planned = 5
upcoming_releases = 2
del planned
total = current_count + upcoming_releases
