Did you intend to reference the passed argument "new_item" instead?

2,484 Pointsthanks man thats what i was thinking. The reason i didnt change it was becuase in the video thats how he typed it and it didnt throw an error. I wonder if he defined item somewhere lol. Just means I should trust in myself a lil bit more

19,175 PointsHi Bryan,
A NameError normally occurs when a variable/function name is not defined.
If it says you get a NameError on line 52, go look at what variables/functions are used and make sure each of them are defined before they are used. Hope that helps.
