I am not sure what I'm doing wrong. I did this on my IDE and I got the correct answer but for some reason it doesn't seem to work here .
def combiner(items):
numCount = 0
word = ""
for item in items:
if(isinstance(item,(int,float)) ):
numCount += item
elif(isinstance(item, str)) :
word.append(item)
return "{}{}".format(word,numCount)

word.append(item)
use
word += item
