Hello Jude.

Why did you set the total variable to the value 3? The code challenge did not ask for that. It should instead be set to be the sum of current_count and upcoming_releases

So the way you started the "total line" is fine:

total =

At this point you have to make sure this total is the sum of current_count and upcoming_releases.

I hope I made it clear, if you need more help, please let us know ;)

total= 3

Add spaces. I've seen where people have problems only because the parser wasn't catching things.

upcoming_releases = 2
total + current_count + upcoming_realeases

You misspelled upcoming_releases.

Hi Cheo.

I have changed your comment into an answer.

Those 2 things that you noticed were good hints, but I believe still not enough to have the code pass the challenge
