Python List Quiz answer

I can't get past the list quiz because even though passing the list ([1, 2, 3]) to the len function yields an answer of 3, 3 registers as a wrong answer. I am confused. What am I missing? There is a 3 floating under the prompt and that's weird too...

I did the quiz just now and, I think, got the question you're asking about. It's expecting you to give the len function as the answer, no parentheses or anything.

Hi Nancy, can you link me to the quiz so I can be sure which question is causing the problem?

The question is gone...I just passed the quiz...I'd like to know because being very new at this I assume I am wrong...not the quiz.

thanks for responding so quickly. I love learning code in the Treehouse.

The quizzes often have more questions available than get asked, so the content can be slightly different each time you take it. If you want to track it down, take the quiz another time or two.

Ah, I was thinking it wanted a number...anyway, thanks. Learning so much. I appreciate the help. As busy as I am with many things I hope to finish the Basics class and move on and finish your Collections class, within a month if I can manage.

I'm sure you can do it! We have lots more Python planned, too, so you'll have plenty to learn over the coming months.

Coolness...it's hard to find good python tutorials. I am glad you'll be adding more.
