Hi Robin,

Yes, your code is working better, but is also not correct. Try the next:
'START_B xf1 1 2 3 4 b STOP' (8)
should be
'START_B TO_C xf1 12 34 TO_B b STOP' (8), but in the function encode

        # Finally, replace START_X,TO_Y with START_Y
        if l[1] in tos:
            l[:2] = ['START_' + l[1][-1]]

this will be transformed to
'START_C xf1 12 34 TO_B b STOP' (7)
