Testing challenges on a code editor isn't generally helpful because the challenge has specific criteria that the code editor won't check for.

But in this case, your code should pass the challenge. I pasted your line directly into the challenge and it did pass for me. You might want to try again and if it still happens, contact the Support staff directly.

Hey there Nathalie Anfuso ! :wave:

There was some maintenance going on with the challenges yesterday and they were temporarily not working, so it probably wasn't your code. It was only down for a few minutes though and everything should be all back to normal. Go ahead and git it another try if you haven't yet :smiley:

Sorry for the inconvenience!

No worries, thank you so much I was stuck for like 10 minutes going back and forth between lessons, copying and pasting and still got it wrong hahaha thank you for clarifying this
