Hi there, Russel! As you might have noticed, Python is incredibly picky about indentation. But above and beyond this, you may not use tabs to indent one line and then spaces to indent the next line. When you receive a "tab error" it means that some indentation was done with spaces, while others were done with tabs. You may not use both tab and space indentation in the same file.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
