it looks like task 1 is no longer passing

i just add a del function in the first task it went well but what's happening on the second task

delete.py 
current_count = 14
planned = 5
upcoming_releases = 2
del planned
planned = "total"
total = upcoming_count+upcominr_release

The exercise doesn't ask you to assign the string "total" to the variable planned, so I would remove that line. This is why it says task 1 is no longer passing, because it expects the variable planned to not exist after you deleted it in task 1, but it does now exist because you have created it again and assigned the string "total" to it. You should delete this line.

Your final line is almost the correct solution to the problem being asked. You just have your variable names wrong. It should be:

total = current_count + upcoming releases

Your 'upcoming_count' variable does not exist, and your 'upcominr_realease' one looks like a typo.
