AssertionError: '0' not found in '1\nred\n2\norange\n3\nyellow\n4\ngreen\n5\nblue\n6\nindigo\n7\nviolet'

I literally can't get this to work

iterating_lists.py 
rainbow = ['red', 'orange', 'yellow', 'green', 'blue', 'indigo', 'violet']
for index, item in enumerate(rainbow, 1):
    print(index)
    print(f"{item}")

You have enumerate(rainbow, 1), which means to enumerate over rainbow starting the counter at 1. If you want to start the counter at 0, you can use enumerate(rainbow) or enumerate(rainbow, 0).
