Thanks in advance

for i in range(cells.length):
    value = random.sample(cells,3)

Hi Alejandro, you actually have the code you need, but you need to remove the loop (and the pass) :)

Just for future reference, indentation is extremely important in python, for your loop to be within your function, it would have to be indented.

def get_locations(cells):
    value = random.sample(cells, 3)
    return value

why did the problem include "pass" that you have to remove after the first line of your code?
