Your print statement should be formatted as: print("string", variable) to pass the tests.

Got it, good catch. Commas = spaces.

Well, no, but the instructions don’t make it clear that two arguments are expected to be used in the print statement. The good news is that a fix is in the works. Until then, make sure you print with that format in the next steps, too.

Hi there sorry for asking on the solution I tried this and it seems I still do not get it correct so I am unsure what to do

This is what I have and when I convert the last part in a string is still does not do anything ?
print("Total bill so far: ") + (running_total)
