I am still stark on this one

Challenge Task 2 of 2

OK, one more step.

Now add a "levels" key. It should be a list with the values 1, 2, 3, and 4 in it.

And, lastly, add an "items" key. This key's value should be another dictionary. Give it at least one key and value, but they can be anything you want.

dicts.py 
player = {"name": "Douglas", "remaining_lives": 3, "levels": [1, 2, 3, 4], "items" = {"pork", "5"}}

it fails even if like this:

player = {"name": "Douglas", "remaining_lives": 3, "levels": [1, 2, 3, 4], "items" = {"pork", 5}}

You have two syntax errors in your statement. Dictionary key:value pairs should always be separated by colons, not by commas or equals signs:

player = {"name": "Douglas", "remaining_lives": 3, "levels": [1, 2, 3, 4], "items": {"pork": "5"}}
                                                                                  ^        ^
