Treehouse TeacherYes, your code should pass, but apparently they're having trouble evaluating it because of the way it's formatted. If you take your same code and properly indent it... it passes.

291 PointsThanks Jennifer. A little better error message (stylistic feedback opposed to syntax accuracy) would be great, but really appreciate your help. I am auditing these courses to see what the experience is like. Thanks!

Treehouse TeacherI agree Dave Armlin, but keep in mind that it's not a real person evaluating your code. It's another piece of code. So if your result doesn't exactly match what they're expecting, it will fail. But this is also true for other sites as well including free code camp and codecademy. I've seen people fail a challenge because they were missing a purely aesthetic space, period, or comma. Also note that I'm a student just like yourself! We help each other out around here a lot! If you ever see a profile with a fancy green border... that's a staff member :)
