where am l getting this code wrong ... help please
# combo(['swallow', 'snake', 'parrot'], 'abc')
# Output:
# [('swallow', 'a'), ('snake', 'b'), ('parrot', 'c')]
# If you use list.append(), you'll want to pass it a tuple of new values.
# Using enumerate() here can save you a variable or two.
def combo (iterable_1 , iterable_2):
tuple_list = []
for item in enumerate(iterable_1):
tuple_list.append((item[1], iterable_2 [item [0]])
return tuple_list

27,771 PointsHi,
I copied and pasted your code adding the missed bracket and it passed the challenge
# combo(['swallow', 'snake', 'parrot'], 'abc')
# Output:
# [('swallow', 'a'), ('snake', 'b'), ('parrot', 'c')]
# If you use list.append(), you'll want to pass it a tuple of new values.
# Using enumerate() here can save you a variable or two.
def combo (iterable_1 , iterable_2):
tuple_list = []
for item in enumerate(iterable_1):
tuple_list.append((item[1], iterable_2 [item [0]]))
return tuple_list
