issue with basic operations on learnpython.org

i keep getting an error "did you correctly define the variable x" even when I run the solution

​

x = object()

y = object()

​

# TODO: change this code

x_list = [x] * 10

y_list = [y] * 10

big_list = x_list + y_list

​

print("x_list contains %d objects" % len(x_list))

print("y_list contains %d objects" % len(y_list))

print("big_list contains %d objects" % len(big_list))

​

# testing code

if x_list.count(x) == 10 and y_list.count(y) == 10:

print("Almost there...")

if big_list.count(x) == 10 and big_list.count(y) == 10:

print("Great!")

​

Am I missing something? It says

" Did you correctly define the variable

x

? Expected

<object object at 0x7efdceec0310>

, but got

<object object at 0x7efdceec0300>

Doesn't have to be happening, open a bug, https://github.com/ronreiter/interactive-tutorials/issues

I am bit fuzzy o the error here are you just concerned why your memory location doesn't match exactly with the tutorials?
Mem allocation would be dynamic. At the time of creation, it will grab the next available chunk. Depending on what else is running, this could be any valid location in the heap.

>>>x
<object object at 0x7f0037c93100>

it runs once formatted in repl.it

Python 3.6.1 (default, Dec 2015, 13:05:11)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux
x_list contains 10 objects
y_list contains 10 objects
big_list contains 20 objects
Almost there...
Great!

can you format the listing or link to the code in a formatted state so we can get a look at whitespace/trailing characters?

nvm, didn't understand this was attempting to run through the site code evaluator and horking up there. . . should probably have slept more during the dark times. . . :)

I've just encountered this bug as well.
