184 PointsStrings and Numbers
Hi, I'm hoping to get some help on the refresher question regarding strings and numbers.I'm returning to this track after a few weeks away and just need a reminder of how to write the code.
The question is create a single new list variable named, my list.Then put three numbers and two strings into it,in whatever order you want.For the last member,though,add another list with two items in it.
Thank you David

The reason that your code isn’t working is that you ended your list with a period (.) and a curly brace (}). Lists have to be ended and started with brackets (]), like Grigorij did in his first answer. So you don’t need the period, and just need to replace the curly brace with a bracket. Then, your code should work. Hopefully that helps!

use this one:
# a list can hold different data structures and even lists
my_list = [1,2,3, 'David', 'Lassen-Diesen', [4,5]]
Does it help?

Hi unfortunately it won't accept the above on my computer.

184 PointsHi Grigorij,
I've copied and pasted the code chunk below and I get the following message;
a list can hold different data structures and even lists my_list = [1,2,3, 'David', 'Lassen-Diesen', [4,5]]
Bummer: Didn't find my_list
!, hope this helps.

10,365 PointsHey David, delxinowilsondebriano is absolutely right! Try it without the curly brace } and replace the period with a hard bracket ]
Let us know if that solved it
