ERROR: Your file has 4 error(s) on line(s) 8, 10, 12, 14: blank line contains whitespace; no newline at end of file.
What is the relevance of whitespace?

return 'arg1 is {}'.format(arg1)
def second_function(arg1):
return 'arg1 is {}'.format(arg1)
class MyClass:
args = [1, 2, 3]

return self.args

return 'arg1 is {}'.format(arg1)

args = [1, 2, 3]

Treehouse Guest TeacherYou shouldn't have whitespace (spaces, tabs, etc) on blank lines. They should be nothing but the newline control character. Since Python uses whitespace to determine scope/namespacing, having whitespace on blank lines can confuse the interpreter.

17,887 Pointsthe below code works if you get this "no newline at end of file." just click on the enter button and add one new line at the end of the code.
def first_function(arg1):
return 'arg1 is {}'.format(arg1)
def second_function(arg1):
return 'arg1 is {}'.format(arg1)
class MyClass:
args = [1, 2, 3]
def class_func(self):
return self.args

Treehouse Guest TeacherBlank lines should be completely blank, this means no tabs or spaces on them. And you shouldn't have extra spaces/tabs on the end of lines.

13,571 PointsThis code passed but doesn't show up correct when I paste it. Instructions:
**be careful to erase all white space from any new lines**
After the first function 2 blank lines After the second function 2 blank lines One blank line after MyClass One blank line after args One blank line after the return statement of class_func(self)
Properly indent all returns by just pressing enter after each function.
Indent args & the function class_func(self) by pressing tab once
def first_function(arg1): return 'arg1 is {}'.format(arg1)
def second_function(arg1): return 'arg1 is {}'.format(arg1)
class MyClass:
args = [1, 2, 3]
def class_func(self): return self.args

2,248 PointsI am getting "Bummer! Your file has 1 error(s) on line(s) 13: no newline at end of file."
but I don't have any(at least none that I could find). I made sure that the s of .args is the last char, nothing more to delete. any ideas? Kenneth Love
