Python beginners delete.Py

Why is it saying that the first objective is incomplete up when I completed the task?

delete.py 
current_count = 14
planned = 5
upcoming_releases = 2
del planned
total=current count_upcoming releases
16

Any syntax error invalidates the entire program, so when the challenge rechecks the previous tasks it will report a fail.

For this task, the instructions said to add *"current_count and upcoming_releases" but this code references "current", "count_upcoming", and "releases", none of which have been defined. Check the placement of spaces and underscores, and there should also be an addition operator in there.

There's also a stray number "16" on the bottom line by itself. You should remove that.
