Tuples in a list

Hello Everyone, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong with this challenge. Can someone please lead me in the right direction? instructions and my code below: Alright, this one can be tricky but I'm sure you can do it.

Create a function named combo that takes two ordered iterables. These could be tuples, lists, strings, whatever.

Your function should return a list of tuples. Each tuple should hold the first item in each iterable, then the second set, then the third, and so on. Assume the iterables will be the same length.

Check the code below for an example.

combo.py 
# combo([1, 2, 3], 'abc')
# Output:
# [(1, 'a'), (2, 'b'), (3, 'c')]

def combo(something1, something2):
    list_of_tuples = []
    for index, value in enumerate(something1):
        list_of_tuples.append((value, something2[index]))
    return list_of_tuples

This code looks OK, so I copy/pasted it directly into the challenge and it passed!

Try again, and if you still have problems, try restarting your browser and/or your computer.
