Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're doing great, and you've understood how to do this. But the problem is that you've removed the previous code that's removing the 8. Take a look at this informational tip from Treehouse:
Important: In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task.
When you move to the next step, it's important that you don't remove the code from the previous step unless explicitly asked to do so. Even if your code would be functional, it can cause the challenge to fail.
Hope this helps! :sparkles.
