Tell us what’s happening:

I am not able to find out the error in the code

Your code so far

def add_expense(expenses, amount, category):
    expenses.append({'amount': amount, 'category': category})
    
def print_expenses(expenses):
    for expense in expenses:
        print(f'Amount: {expense["amount"]}, Category: {expense["category"]}')
    

# User Editable Region

def total_expenses(expenses):
  total_expenses = list(map(lambda expense: expense['amount'], expenses))
  return total_expenses


# User Editable Region


expenses = []

Replace pass with a lambda function that has expense as its parameter.
expense is expected to be a dictionary, and your lambda function should return the value of the 'amount' key in the expense dictionary.

You should write just the lambda function. How did you get to write this?

total_expenses = list(map(lambda expense: expense['amount'], expenses))
return total_expenses

The code should look like this…because it asks for a lambda function not storing lambda into total_expenses :grinning:

This thread is pretty old, probably do not need to wake it up.

Please do not post solution code.

It is great that you solved the challenge, but instead of posting your full working solution, it is best to stay focused on answering the original poster’s question(s) and help guide them with hints and suggestions to solve their own issues with the challenge.

We are trying to cut back on the number of spoiler solutions found on the forum and instead focus on helping other campers with their questions and definitely not posting full working solutions.
