possible answer:
my_list = []
for i in range(10):
my_list.append(i)
not exactly sure why this passes for the challenge vs.
my_list = []
for i in range(0, 10):
print(i)
I reviewed both videos twice and I just can't seem to grasp this concept...
[MOD: added ```python formatting]

Treehouse Moderator 68,423 PointsHi imjane, the difference is the second solution prints the loop value, but does not change the contents of my_list. Without the append the value of my_list does not change. Hence, the checker will not see the expected list contents in the list my_list.
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!

11,575 Pointsthanks Chris. I was not understanding that the append could be used as another method of changing value in my_list.
