You wrote:

```python
hero.pos.y = #subtract 3 from the hero.pos.y

```

instead of that, you should type `hero.pos.y - 3`

Don’t forget to redefine the variable when you do that.

Also, you wrote

```python
hero.pos.y = #add 3 to hero.pos.y

```

Instead of `#add 3 to hero.pos.y` , add 3 to hero.pos.y by `hero.pos.y = hero.pos.y + 3`

As I said earlier, instead of `hero.pos.y - 3` replace it with `hero.pos.y = hero.pos.y - 3`.

@Rachel699 You mean yPos because that is the variable for the hero’s y position

Instead of `ypos` , make sure to capitalize it so it’s `yPos` . This should work.
