     The third part calculates `result + n` but throws away the value.
     It was probably supposed to do `result += n` instead.
 
+4. If you run this program you'll notice that nothing happened to the

+    changes the `thing` variable, and that's it. It doesn't change
+    anything else.
+
+    An easy solution is to just create a new list:
+
+    ```python
+    numbers = ['1', '2', '3']
+    converted_numbers = []
+    for number in numbers:
