This challenge is just meant as a refresher. Create a single new list variable named my_list. Put 3 numbers and 2 strings into it in whatever order you want. For the last member, though, add another list with 2 items in it.
where am i going wrong, i know I'm missing the last set of instructions but i feel like i should know how to add this by now..and im a little stumped
my_list = ('1', '2', '3', "I love python", "Teach me more" # i believe the last instruction goes here, but no idea how to write it))

5,969 PointsOk it seems you're doing a number of things wrong. First you've created a tuple and not a list . In python a list is created using the square brackets '[]'. Secondly, in python '1' is not an integer but is in fact treated as a string. Thirdly, for the last step , it's asking you to write a list within a list. Therefore your code should look more like this:
my_list = [1 , 2, 3, 'hello', 'world', ['hello', 'again']]

this was my end result,
my_list = [ 1, 2, 3, "I love python", "Teach me more!!", [ "this one was tricky", "Thank you Mohammad for your help"]]
