4,170 PointsGetting error - It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing
I dont understand why I am getting this error. I am still importing unittest properly as required in Task 1. Maybe some syntax error, but, I am unable to find it.
import unittest
class TestUM(unittest.TestCase):
def test_SimpleTestCase(self):
assert 10-10 = 0
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()

231,268 PointsThat message can be misleading and generally is caused by introducing a syntax error, which invalidates the re-validation of the earlier task(s).
In this case, the syntax error is caused by the symbol being used to compare terms in the "assert" statement: A single "=" is an assignment, the equality comparison operator is "==".
Also, the challenge only asks you to define the test, you don't need to add code to run it. The extra code will also confuse the validation.

4,170 PointsThanks a lot. Thats very helpful :). I totally missed to see the single = sign even after checking the code 10s of times.
