### Tell us what’s happening:

I can’t get past tests 25, 26 and 27 and I don’t understand why

### Your code so far

```py
test_settings= {'theme':'dark', 'notifications': 'enabled', 'volume': 'high' }
def add_setting(settings, key_value_pair):
    key = key_value_pair[0].lower()
    value = key_value_pair[1].lower()
    if key in settings.keys():
        return f"Setting '{key}' already exists! Cannot add a new setting with this name."
    else:
        settings[key] = value
        return f"Setting '{key}' added with value '{value}' successfully!"

def update_setting(settings, key_value_pair):
    key = key_value_pair[0].lower()
    value = key_value_pair[1].lower()
    if key in settings.keys():
        settings[key] = value
        return f"Setting '{key}' updated to '{value}' successfully!"
    else:
        return f"Setting '{key}' does not exist! Cannot update a non-existing setting."

def delete_setting(settings, key):
    key = key.lower()
    if key in settings.keys():
        settings.pop(key, '0')
        return f"Setting '{key}' deleted successfully!"
    else:
        return "Setting not found!"

def view_settings(settings):
    if settings == {}:
        return "No settings available."
    else:
        print("Current User Settings:")
        for key, value in settings.items():
            print (f"{key.capitalize()}: {value}")
        print ('\n')
print(view_settings(test_settings))

```

Do you see `None` in the console? What does `view_settings` `return` from the `else`?
