You'll need to provide a link to the challenge in question, or even better, click the "Get Help" button right from the challenge, as this will include the course your are in, the challenge in question, and all the relevant instructions and code needed to best assist you.
Also, if your are just posting code to the Community (and not using the "Get Help" button), please review the Markdown Cheatsheet (link above the Post button) for proper formatting for code snippets. Without it, the code is really very hard to read.
Thank-you and Welcome to the Treehouse Community!
:)
