My Solutions:

Part 1: I have a variable I don't need anymore. Can you add a new line to delete the planned variable? Use the del keyword, don't just delete the line.

current_count = 14
planned = 5
upcoming_releases = 2
del planned

Part 2:

Excellent! Now I need you to add a new variable named total. Then assign the sum of current_count and upcoming_releases to total. I'd like you to use the variables, but if you need to use the numbers, that's OK.

current_count = 14
planned = 5
upcoming_releases = 2
del planned
total = 14 + 2

You have a typo in your code:

total = current_count + upcoming_release

should be:

total = current_count + upcoming_releases

Hope this helps.
