This code does the work but still is not accepted by the console

I have run this in the console and it seems to work but why doesn't treehouse accept it?

choices.py 
def nchoices(n,itr):
  count=0
  my_list=[]
  while count < n: 
    my_list.append(random.choice(itr))
    count=count+1
  return my_list

You are very close. The challenge says " a function named nchoices() that takes an iterable and an integer". Order is important on the parameters and should match the order in the task description Your parameters were reversed. Also, you need to import random:

import random

def nchoices(itr, n):
  count=0
  my_list=[]
  while count < n: 
    my_list.append(random.choice(itr))
    count=count+1
  return my_list
