Tell us what’s happening:

I am still at step 44 after passing and submitting
The console shows :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “main.py”, line 92
SyntaxError: ‘return’ outside function
I am also advised to use pass. Please help me get to the next step

Your code so far

this part is all outside any function so you get that error

3

How do you indicate what is part of a function in Python?

4

I put it inside and console cleared. I have been re-attempting the reiteration with

for pos, key in enumerate (invalid_records):

    val=dictionary\[key\]

bot it does not pass and still asks for reiteration. I highly appreciate your input

5

please reset the step, there is a circular arrow to the rigth of the Check Your Code button, that would reset the code to the start of the step

then individuate where you are asked to make changes, it’s the area highlighted in a different color

then make sure to make the changes in that area

hi @innocentmatabaro460

It is great that you solved the challenge, but instead of posting your full working solution, it is best to stay focused on answering the original poster’s question(s) and help guide them with hints and suggestions to solve their own issues with the challenge. How to Help Someone with Their Code Using the Socratic Method

We are trying to cut back on the number of spoiler solutions found on the forum and instead focus on helping other campers with their questions and definitely not posting full working solutions.
