The body of the for loop should append the current value to the provided list called my_list.append(val)
my_list = []
for i in range(0,10,1):
my_list.append(val):
print(i)

- each line of the body of the loop must be indented more than the "for" line
- the "append" line should not end in a colon
- where does the "val" come from that you are appending? It's not defined in this code

4,233 PointsHi Steve, Thank you for the answer.I have indented the body.I have removed the semi-colon. Now,when I recheck it says,"Whoops it looks like my_list contains incorrect values or values are missing. The 'val' comes from the instruction that says,"To append a value to a list use syntax my_list.append(val).

The instruction example is intended to be generic, they are using the term "val" to represent the variable that will contain the value you want to append. You wouldn't use the actual term "val" unless you chose that as your loop variable name.

4,233 PointsHi Steve, I have removed "val". When I recheck,I get the bummer that says,"Whoops looks like my_list contains incorrect values or is missing values.
Steven Parker
231,007 PointsYou "removed" it? Did you put something in it's place? (Hint: what is it you want to append?).
If you're still having trouble, repost the whole code in the current state.
