So you'll be assigning another variable, you won't need to print anything. And take another look at what the instructions are asking you to put into that variable.

8,479 PointsThere is no print statement asked for in the challenge. Check the wording in the final task as it's very similar to the step 4 challenge. You're not being asked to use match(), you're being asked to use a different term. Other than that, the two lines should be very similar.
