Is below syntax correct where states is a list states.remove(["red", "green", "blue"]

Is the syntax incorrect to remove list from list?

lists.py 
states = [
    'ACTIVE',
    ['red', 'green', 'blue'],
    'CANCELLED',
    'FINISHED',
    5,
]
states.remove(["red", "green", "blue"])

Hi Arun,

Yes, that code is correct. However, you seem to be missing the line of code from Task 1?

Challenges are picky and instructions must be followed exactly. Also, as each task progresses to the next one, you add the code to the code you have from the last task (unless specifically instructed otherwise).

Just add the first line of code back in (above the code for task 2) and it's all good. :thumbsup:

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:

Thanks for the confirmation. When I moved to the next task, on the task windows automatically the previous task was removed. This caused the confusion since I thought only task2 needs to be solved. it would have been better it this is mentioned as instruction for task2. I have cleared task2 now.
