I tried doing the exercise but could not get the answer. I am pasting my code, please let me know what is my mistake. def count(numbers): total = 0 while numbers[total] < 20: print (total =+ 1) return total Also, why can't I use statements like while x in nums: print total =+1 return total Whats wrog with this code ?

Hi Taufiq! Thanks for reaching out. In both examples, you are trying to increment a value (i.e. the value of 1) to a variable in the argument of a print function, while you need to do that outside the print function (still in the while loop). Please correct this and retry running the functions. Hope this helps. Best, Martin
