Hiya Goktug! I'd say your logic is on the point but i think you need to refactor a code little with these couple of point:

  • first off, it should be "==" not "=" , im guessing its a typo right? -second off, you cant say 'x.index(0)' coz it'd raise an AttributeError saying 'int' object has no attribute 'index'. Perhaps, you might wanna try if x[0]=='a': . Everything else seems alright to me (:

Hey Ari, I often get error about the syntax and I think it is because I am new to python :) Probably I will need help about other questions :D Thanks for your time !
