Tell us what’s happening:

I’m not sure where the problem is, I keep getting “Your code raised an error before any tests could run. Please fix it and try again.”

Your code so far

update medical_records to have some invalid entries, like 'gender': 'alien', and you will see the error that is blocking the tests

3

“Unexpected format gender: alien at position 0.
Valid format.” (shows up in the terminal)
”You should print Unexpected format '<key>: <val>' at position <index>. (where <key>, <val>, and <index> should be replaced by the current key, value and index) inside your for loop.” (this shows up below after updating medical_records)

4

now that you can see the unexpected format message, make sure it matches the required format, you don’t have quotes

Many Thanks! IT WORKED!!!
