Treehouse Project ReviewerHey there Sandra-Lee Rowe 👋
When running your provided code in the second stage of this challenge, I get the following error message.
Bummer: IndentationError: unexpected indent
This is due to lines 4, 5, 6 & 7 being indented to the right. You'll want to highlight all those lines and SHIFT + TAB them to the left. Indentation is a crucial part of syntax with Python and can be pretty tricky at first.
beatles = ["John"]
others = ["George", "Ringo"]
beatles.append("Paul")
others = [
George and Ringo
]
beatles.extend(others)
After that, I get this error message:
Bummer: NameError: name 'George' is not defined
This is due to the second assignment to your others list. Those names aren't wrapped in quotation marks so it's considering them variables, but there are no defined variables with those names. We also already have others defined above just as we need it. For the second part of this challenge, we only need your last line of code to add the contents of others into beatles.
beatles = ["John"]
others = ["George", "Ringo"]
beatles.append("Paul")
beatles.extend(others)
I hope this makes sense and helps 👍
