You have an extra underscore in the literal string 'new_char:'. Only the variable should have it.

3

thanks, why is that?

4

Can you explain what you are asking?

5

This is what the instruction asks for:

turn the last print() call into print('char:', char, 'new char:', new_char).

You need to follow it exactly

6

You have an extra underscore in the literal string 'new_char:' . Only the variable should have it. Im asking why?

7

This is what the request gave you and asked that you call within a print.

call into print('char:', char, 'new char:', new_char).

This is what you originally posted.

One literal string concatenated with a variable plus another literal string concatenated with another variable. However, the second literal string is supposed to be 'new char: ' instead of 'new_char:', thus the ‘_’ character is unwanted.
