I don't know how to solve challenge task 2 of 2 on python basics.. Please help! Thanks..

Excellent! Now I need you to add a new variable named total. Then assign the sum of current_count and upcoming_releasesto total. I'd like you to use the variables, but if you need to use the numbers, that's OK.

delete.py
current_count = 14
planned = 5
upcoming_releases = 2
del planned

it wants you to create a new variable named total and assign it to the sum of current count and upcoming releases

current_count = 14
planned = 5
upcoming_releases = 2

del planned

total = current_count + upcoming_releases

current_count = 14
planned = 5
upcoming_releases = 2

del planned

total =
