Write a function named members that takes two arguments, a dictionary and a list of keys.

am stuck here. i keep getting "bummer!" with no explanation

counts.py 
def members (my_dict, my_keys):
    count = 0
    for key in my_dict:
      if key in my_keys:
         count += 1
return count
# "key in dict" syntax from lists.

### Example
# my_dict = {'apples': 1, 'bananas': 2, 'coconuts': 3}
# my_list = ['apples', 'coconuts', 'grapes', 'strawberries']
# members(my_dict, my_list) => 2

Hi Mayamiko,

Check the indentation on the return statement. Fixing that should pass the challenge.

Cheers
