need help with First Sets (challenge task 3 of 3)

I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I am getting the error: "Bummer! Couldn't find all the songs in songs."

sets.py 
songs = {"im the one", "broccile", "marmalade"}
songs.add("Treehouse Hula")
songs.update({"Python Two-step", "Ruby Rhumba"}, {"My PDF Files"})

I'll admit, I was perplexed as to why your code wouldn't work as well. Took me about 15 minutes to realize that your 's' in 'Python Two-step' wasn't capitalized, so I definitely don't blame you for overlooking that one, haha. With the capitalized 'S' it works perfectly :)

Hi ilya, Here is how I did it, your mistake is the {} brackets, try to change it to [] and it will work out fine :)

songs = {"im the one", "broccile", "marmalade"}
songs.add("Treehouse Hula")
songs.update(["Python Two-step", "Ruby Rhumba"], ["My PDF Files"])

It is very easy there not to notice that in "Python Two-step" there is a hyphen - and not an underscore _.Gave me a hard time!!!
