Unfortunately your code has been mangled by the email. Can you try 
sending it again WITHOUT using Yahoo's "Rich Text" (HTML mail)?

I will try to reverse-engineer what you meant:

def manipulate_data(kind, data):
    if kind == 'list':
        return list(data)[::-1]
    elif kind == 'set':
        data=set({"a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "ANDELA", "TIA", "AFRICA"})
        return set(data)
    elif kind == 'dictionary':
        return dict.keys(data) 

manipulate_data("list", range(1,6)) 
manipulate_data("set", {"a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "ANDELA", "TIA", "AFRICA"})
manipulate_data("dictionary", {"apples": 23, "oranges": 15, "mangoes": 3, "grapes": 45})


Is that what you intended?

I looked below, but you have not included the error. Perhaps you 
included it as an attachment? In that case, it would probably be 
deleted, and if it is a screen-shot, it will be useless to anyone who is 
blind or visually impaired and reading this using a screen reader.

Please COPY and PASTE the text of the error into your email.
