I cannot finish and understand task 2, with creating the item3.

Some versions when I try, the system breaks down.

creating_tuples.py
my_tuple = ('I', 'love', 'python')

item3 = (my_tuple, 2)

Hi there, Jekabs Dambergs ! Remember, that you can access an item in a tuple just like you access an item in a list by using the index.

So if my tuple were:

whatever = ('My', 'name', 'is', 'Jennifer')

Then I could make a variable and assign "Jennifer" to it like this:

my_name = whatever[3]

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
