Now create an OrderedDict named menu that has the menu items exactly as listed in the comment. Both keys and values will be strings

it says does not get correct numbers of menu where im going wrong

menu.py 
## Menu Items:
# 'n', 'new challenge'
# 's', 'new step'
# 's', 'new step'
# 'e', 'edit a challenge'
from collections import OrderedDict
menu = OrderedDict([
    ('n', 'new challenge'),
    ('s', 'new step'),
    ('s', 'new step'),
    ('e', 'edit a challenge'),
])

You had 2 of the same lines ('s', 'new step'), one of them supposed be ('d', 'delete a challenge')

## Menu Items:
# 'n', 'new challenge'
# 's', 'new step'
# 'd', 'delete a challenge'
# 'e', 'edit a challenge'

The problem is you have the same key and value mentioned twice ('s', 'new step').

After correcting that, your code should look something like this:

## Menu Items:
# 'n', 'new challenge'
# 's', 'new step'
# 'd', 'delete a challenge'
# 'e', 'edit a challenge'

from collections import OrderedDict

menu = OrderedDict([
    ('n', 'new challenge'),
    ('s', 'new step'),
    ('d', 'delete a challenge'),
    ('e', 'edit a challenge'),
  ])
