i know its a simple task, but way too frustrated because i cant get the space correct. i believe my spacing is right, but it keeps giving me errors that i cant even find
def first_function(arg1):
return 'arg1 is {}'.format(arg1)
def second_function(arg1):
return 'arg1 is {}'.format(arg1)
class MyClass:
args = [1, 2, 3]
def class_func(self):
return self.args

Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're right. There are invisible characters that are giving the errors. It's counting the indentation as whitespace on lines that otherwise contain nothing else. This has to do with the way things auto-indent on a new line. And because you're so close here, I'm just going to give this hint. Put your cursor in the lines you believe are blank. I can almost guarantee you it won't be flush with the left side. Backspace to remove the additional whitespace that was added, and recheck the code. Pay close attention to the "Bummer!" messages as they are absolutely crucial to passing this challenge.
I hope this helps, but let me know if you're still stuck!

17,796 PointsOk. I've tried your method I'm left with only one on line 13, that i definetly dont know how to fix. It keeps saying " no new line at the end of the file"

Treehouse TeacherThen you're at the end! Simply add a new line after the last line that you've typed. Be careful though, it might try to auto-indent so make sure you take out any of those pesky spaces that might have popped up so that the cursor is flush with the left side
