I don't know what's happening...My code is.......

def combo(num,string):
    mylist = []
    str = list(string)
    count = 0
    while count > len(num):
        a = num[count],string[count]
        print(a)

Hello Af,

Your code isn't returning anything, as the Challenge requests; it also declares a variable str which isn't used anywhere. I'd also recommend using a format of for items in range of the length of the list instead of while, which skips the need for a count and simplifies the code.

def combo(num,string):
    mylist = []
    for nums in range(len(num)):
        mylist.append((num[nums], string[nums]))
    return mylist

The class hasn't covered this yet, but you could also use the zip() and list() functions to make this even simpler;

def combo(num, string):
  return list(zip(num, string))

Hope that helps!
