Hi there! The code you have is correct for the third step, but only the 3rd step. If you try this code in the first and second step, the challenge will fail. Only include the code explicitly asked for by that step. Also, on the third step, I cannot make it pass when copy/pasting. Type the last line by hand with a space around the equals sign. Hope this helps! :sparkles:
