- Good news: youβre very close. You need to add spaces around βeatsβ because string concatenation doesnβt automatically add spaces.
- Bad news: the challenge checker is looking for an f-string or
.format()
string. It does not seem to accept string concatenation. [I will file a bug report]
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
