i ended up copying the code in the lesson verbatim and still get an error message.
rainbow = ['red', 'orange', 'yellow', 'green', 'blue', 'indigo', 'violet']
for index color in enumerate(rainbow, 1):
print (f'{index}. {color}')

47,913 PointsYou have not copied this code verbatim. There is still a syntax error, though you're only 1 character off. the enumerate function returns a tuple, so you need to have the tuple be properly unpacked. In your loop, you've written your 2 variables with nothing in between, which is invalid syntax in Python

3,331 PointsThank you but the second challenge isn't mentioned in the treehouse videos. "Edit the code so that the for loop uses the enumerate method. Add a print statement above the existing print statement that prints the index of the current element." I'm considering quitting, this is too agravating, everything makes sense but the workspace drives me insane.

2,421 Pointsjust get rid off the 1. And separate the print function into two. should be written like this - for index, color in enumerate(rainbow): print(f"{index}. ") print(f"{color}")
