You can't put two "del" statements on the same line.

But if you put each on a separate line, you'll pass the challenge.

I finally figure out the solution but curious of how to create a function to re-arrange messy_list = [2,3,1] from smallest to biggest. I understand there are multiple way to create this function but my knowledge now is not enough to figure it out. Can you help me Steven?

Thanks Gia

The easy way is to just use the built-in "sort" method:

messy_list.sort()

If the original question has been answered, you can mark it solved by choosing a "best answer".
And happy coding!
