Learn Lambda Functions by Building an Expense Tracker - Step 12

Tell us what’s happening:

Hiya, I’m not sure what I’m missing here, apologies if it’s glaringly obvious. I’ve created the dictionary inside the append method, but my code still doesn’t pass. What am I missing?

Your code so far


# User Editable Region

def add_expense(expenses, amount, category):
    expenses.append(my_dict = {'amount': amount})

# User Editable Region


expenses = []
