We need to append a few more items to our todo array. Append the following strings: "Debug App", "Fix Bugs".

My Answer:

todo.append ("Debug App", "Fix Bugs")

Its giving me an error message, I don't know why.

Hi Umair,

The .append method only accepts one parameter, and therefore it isn't as simple as adding more terms inside the parenthesis.

To add more, have your code as follows:

todo += ("Debug App", "Fix Bugs")

The += term adds the items in the parenthesis to your todo array.

Hopefully this helps!

this is correct except you will use [] not ()

so it will be:

todo += ["Debug App","Fix Bugs"]
