6,806 PointsCollection challenge. Please help! Why my code doesn't work?
It worked for the first task, but it didn't work for the second. Also both tasks work in Python 2.7 IDE.....
the_list = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]]
# Your code goes below here
the_list_1 = the_list.pop(3)
the_list.insert(0, the_list_1)
del the_list[4]
print the_list

Welcome to Treehouse!
Task 2:
Use
.remove()and/ordelto remove the string, boolean, and list members ofthe_list.
I don't see in your code where you are doing anything to remove all three of the required items. We need to remove the string "a", the boolean False, and the list [1, 2, 3]. Remember that since we have performed operations on the list already in Task 1, the index values of the items may have changed.
Post back if you are still stuck.
Happy coding,
Ken

6,806 PointsI did it finally. Thanks for the help. It didn't want to accept "print the_list", so I removed it:
the_list.remove("a") the_list.remove(False) the_list.remove([1, 2, 3])

6,806 PointsThanks for the point. I am still trying to make it work. Here is what I've done:
the_list = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]]
Your code goes below here
the_list_1 = the_list.pop(3) the_list.insert(0, the_list_1)
the_list.remove("a") the_list.remove(False) the_list.remove([1,2,3]) print the_list
It does the job when I do it in a 2.7 Python IDE....
