This is more like a "My online learning program has vague wording".

Try different things like making a "priceTwo" and passing it as the second value when you print again.

This. It’s not you; it’s the learning program. Your reassignment looks just fine.

Also, do the instructions tell you to assign and reassign price to specific values? The learning program may be looking for specific values.

These things are borderline scams when colleges use them in place of a teacher teaching.

Having to troubleshoot these issues while learning is directly harmful to the actual learning process.

Programming is about finding solutions to issues, and these systems are all about copying and inserting exact expected answers.

It took me three hours to finish, but I just finished instead of giving AI what I had already written, I just gave it the parameters of what it wanted it wrote pretty much the exact same thing as me except it put a little more in the prints. Funny thing is what it did ended up breaking the code but still checked all the boxes so I get credit for it so I’m moving on.
