Bummer! Try again! I no longer receive the hints saying what is wrong. I'm leaving an empty line with no whitespace.

I've left an empty line at the end (Line 16) and have no white space in it. When I check work I get the Bummer! Try again! error but there are no tips about what's wrong with the rest of the code and it looks like I'm missing something. Any tips?

starter.py 
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]


def add(num1, num2):
    return num 1 + num2


def subtract(num1, num2):
    return num1 - num2


def mathy(num1, num2):
    up = add(5 + 7, 7 + 9)
    down = subtract(6, 3)
    return add(up, down)

Do you have a newline at the end of the program? Perhaps if you add a newline to the end of the program, it will work.

Happy coding! :zap: ~Alex
