Quiz Question

I've noticed that on the -i quizes after the videos have a different code system than on the videos. The videos will tell me to not put something in "" but the quiz and workspace will, or the video says not to put something in "" but the workspace and quiz will. Is there a reason for it to do that? I thought it had something to do with testing my knowledge or somethin,but I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't just happening to me and that it wasn't a bug in the software. Thanks in advance=)

Hey MightyIronElf 14 !

I'm having trouble seeing an example of this, are you seeing that in this "Mutability" video? Or if not, could you provide some links to a challenge / quiz you noticed that in? I'm not completely sure without seeing it, sorry. Thanks in advance!

I have it happen in a few of the quizes and a lot of the workspaces with me, but here's a link to one that gave me the most fits: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/python-basics-3/fuctions-and-looping/create-a-function

It appears your link has a typo, but I believe you meant this Create a Function challenge.

Quote marks are commonly used around literal strings, but not with numbers or variable names. This particular challenge does not use any strings and you won't need any quote marks when creating the solutions to both tasks.
