What must i do to make it work.
# EXAMPLE
import random
# random_item("Treehouse")
def random_item(iterable):
# The randomly selected number is 4.
random_num = random.randint(0,(len(iterable)-1)
# The return value would be "h"
return iterable[random_num]

Your syntax is almost perfect. You just have one tiny (and common) error. You are just missing a closing parenthesis ) for the random.randint call. If you look, there are 3 opening and only 2 closing. Just add one to the end and you're good go! Nice job. :)
