14,237 PointsWhat is wrong with my code
messy_list = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]] messy_list2 = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]]
Your code goes below here
for i in messy_list2: if type(i) is not int: messy_list.remove(i)
Output need to be a list (messy_list) with integer
messy_list = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]]
messy_list2 = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]]
# Your code goes below here
for i in messy_list2:
if type(i) is not int:
messy_list.remove(i)
print messy_list

Treehouse Guest TeacherWhen I run your code, with the print fixed, I get a very specific error message in the code challenge. You've missed a step in the instructions.

1,990 Pointshey Kenneth Love i am wondering why we cant do this messy_list = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]] for i in messy_list: if type(i) is not int: messy_list.remove(i) i mean why we have to use a second list

14,237 Points@Kenneth It is working fine in my system shell, yet I am not able to pass the challenge.

14,237 PointsThank you for your reply.
I am still getting "Oops! " in Challenge Task.
The task is "Great! Now use .remove() and/or del to remove the string, the boolean, and the list from inside of messy_list. When you're done, messy_list should have only integers in it."

Treehouse Guest TeacherYou must still have some values in there you're not expecting. Try it out in your Python shell on your computer or in Workspaces.
