Hi gurinder singh , Here's what you can do:

import random


def random_item(treehouse):
    result = random.randint(0, len(treehouse) - 1)
    return treehouse[result]

so result gets a random number -1 as specified in the challenge and then we use that result on the treehouse var with a return statement.
