Hi there,

First, make sure you keep the variables at the top on separate lines - lines and spacing are really important in python. They should look like this:

current_count = 14
planned = 5
upcoming_releases = 2

Then, it's asking that you use code to remove the 'planned' variable, without changing the code that is already there. In the previous video, the 'del' keyword is mentioned - you can use that to delete a variable that you don't need anymore. You do this by typing 'del' followed by one space, then the name of the variable you want to delete. So, in this case, you're adding a line at the bottom that says:

del planned
