I must be reading it wrong?

Hi I don't think I am looking at this in the wright way? I am getting the odd index of the items right? Any help in the right direction would be great thanks :)

slices.py 
def first_4(house):
  house = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  return house[:4]

def odds(num):
  num = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
  return num[1::2]

Hello Jan.

You should not hard-code the iterables, the code challenges will take care of that themself.

So get rid of the lines where you assign the values to the iterables and you'll be good.
