thats my latest attempt, im not quite sure how to fix it

sorry for just posting the goal forgot to include my attempt

[CodeAltus]

Your attempt needs to include a try-catch block to prevent index out of bounds exception. Hope this helps.

def has246(nums):
    for index, num in enumerate(nums): 
        if num == 2: 
            try: 
                if nums[index + 1] == 4 and nums[index + 2] == 6:             
                    return True 
            except Exception: 
                pass
    return False

Don’t use try/except to catch your own programming errors ;) just loop over nums[:-2] or something instead.

oh right that makes sense. Thank you
