Hi Jade,

All challenges are very specific when in comes to instructions being followed. This one in particular is extremely specific and must be followed to the letter.

With that said, in addition to the print statements not being what the instructions ask for (as stated by Simon), there are a few other things not being followed:

  • The instructions say to not create a range of values, which you have with the for loop
  • The instructions state not to include a default case, but you have an else clause

Other than that, the syntax is fine :thumbsup: ... just go back and give the instructions a careful read and make the necessary changes to satisfy exactly what the challenge is needing.

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:

Part of challenge asks you to change your 'print' statements to 'return' statements.

Try changing them to see if the challenge accepts it.
