Except you didn’t do what it asked. Note at the bottom it said “Do not change the list declaration”

You’re not supposed to touch the list’s declaration, aka where my_list is first given a value. You need to change the first element using bracket notation like in the example.

3

that’s what I thought I was doing. I changed the first element from 1 to 0 inside the bracket notation. I am so lost.

Look at the example code again:

example_list = [4, 5, 6, 7]
example_list[1] = 'oh'

It shows you how to change a single element in a list after it’s been declared

Oh ok. I didn’t realize I had to mimic the example by adding a line of code, and not use the ’ ’ (for anyone reading this who is stuck) I thought I just had to change a number. I solved it. Thank you!!
