combo python

Hello all,

somebody can tell me why i'm wrong here?

zippy.py 
# combo([1, 2, 3], 'abc')
# Output:
# [(1, 'a'), (2, 'b'), (3, 'c')]
# If you use .append(), you'll want to pass it a tuple of new values.
def combo(word,anyword):
    list_of_word = zip(word,anyword)
    return list_of_word

Is zip covered in this course? But anyway...

:point_right: Zip returns an interable, but the challenge wants a list.

So you need to add a conversion:

    list_of_word = list(zip(word, anyword))
