🔒 Unable to pass all the test cases

[lunar wolf]

I am trying to understand what I am missing that is failing the test case when num = 0. This is my code:

    elif line == "":
        skip_next = True
        continue

    elif len(line) == num:
        stored_lines.append(line)
    
for stored_line in stored_lines:
    print(stored_line)

Hey @lunar wolf!

It looks like you pasted Python code without syntax highlighting.

Please use syntax highlighting to improve the legibility of your code and make it easier for us to help you.

To do this, use the following method:
```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```
You can **edit your original message** to correct your code block.

elif line == "": is the same as elif len(line) == num: when num is 0, no?

if the user input an empty line
does this suggest that the line should be "", or that the line should contain only whitespace?

Because the last elif will never trigger in the case of num being 0. The elif before it will trigger, as an empty string has a len of 0.

any suggestions on how I can fix this?
