Removing item from list

Hi,

I am not sure what am I doing wrong. Can anyone please advise?

lists.py 
states = [
    'ACTIVE',
    ['red', 'green', 'blue'],
    'CANCELLED',
    'FINISHED',
    5
]


states.remove(5)

There's really nothing wrong with the code. It is correct!

Hi Abdullah,

The original starter code had a comma after the 5 in the states list. You removed that and it's causing the test not to pass.
