I have solve your problem. You can make two mistake that I am correcting now
- first on is parenthesis. In the print function or print line at the end you cannot add an parenthesis )
- Second one is you make mistake in len(potential_attendees) the spell is false. Now i am correcting this.
attendees = ["Ken", "Alena", "Treasure"]
attendees.append("Ashley")
attendees.extend(["James", "Guil"])
optional_invitees = ["Ben", "Dave"]
potentional_attendees = attendees + optional_invitees
print("There are", len(potentional_attendees), "potential attendees currently.")
to_line = ", ".join(attendees)
cc_line = ", ".join(optional_invitees)
print("to: " + to_line)
print("cc: " + cc_line)
hop now you understand your mistakes.
