Please Help. Have no idea why it will not work or even what the error messages mean.

Thanks.

starter.py 
def first_function(arg1):
    return 'arg1 is {}'.format(arg1)


def second_function(arg1):
    return 'arg1 is {}'.format(arg1)


class MyClass:
    args = [1, 2, 3]

    def class_func(self):
        return self.args

Hi Finlay,

Make sure that each new line you make doesn't have any whitespace left behind by the text editor's auto indent.
