student_gpas = [4.0, 2.3, 3.5, 3.7, 3.9, 2.8, 1.5, 4.0]

Courses Plus Student 10,694 Pointscan you show me the sample please?

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 9,569 Pointswhat Kris means is that as you were asked in first task to find lenght of student_gpas and ASSIGN it to a VARIABLE called LENGTH..so you did length = len(student_gpas) which was correct. In next steps you are asked to find max and min and asign it to variables named max_gpas and min_gpas. you got the code right but didnt asign them names like you did with LENGTH=. and print line is not needed. Hope this helps. Happy coding :)

Courses Plus Student 10,694 Pointsplease can you at the line this process for me one by one? please, I think this is the only way for me to unlock this issue. please help me...
length = len(student_gpas) max_gpas(student_gpas) min_gpas(student_gpas) print(student_gpas)
Is this the proper way to do it?

Courses Plus Student 10,694 PointsAs you said, I did everything right so what is it that I havent done right?
you got the code right but didn't assign them names like you did with LENGTH=. and the print line is not needed. Hope this helps. Happy coding :)
please, can you analyze a better way to run the code, bit by bit for me, please? Can you please complete the sequence for me that is not properly aligned? Please....!!

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 9,569 Pointsvariable is a name that points to particular pieces of data. It is a label. Your first line of code is correct because you assigned it a name(variable) as requested. so length = len(student_gpas) . length here is a variable name. The next two tasks are the same format. it asks you to find max num in student_gpas,which you did with max(student_gpas).that was correct too. Then it askes you asign it a variable name max_gpas; so max_gpas = max(student_gpas). that is it. the same process you did for length. the same process for the next task which is to find min. you asign variable names to data so you can easily retrieve them later by calling them by name you asigned them. An advice for solving these challenges is to always read the task carefully. the answer is always mostly in them. Just follow it.

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 9,569 Pointsremove the spaces before min and max.they should be at the same level as the first one. things like that matter in writing code
