create a function named nchoices

It's giving me no hints as to where my mistake could be. Just says bummer! Try again!

choices.py 
def nchoices(iterable, n):
  mylist = []
  for index in range(n):
    random.choice(n) = newlist
    mylist.append(newlist)
    return mylist

Hi,

You have an error here:

    random.choice(n) = newlist

random.choice returns a random element from an iterable that you pass to it as an argument. You are passing in an integer to it.

You also will need to import the random library.
