Tell us what’s happening:

The error is ‘return’ outside function but I have checked indentations and It seems to look correct. Please guide me as I’m stuck on this for a while now.

Your code so far

def arithmetic_arranger(problems, show_answers=False):
    if len(problems) > 5:
        return 'Error: Too many problems.'

    arranged_problems = {
        "first_line":"",
        "second_line":"", 
        "dash_line":"",
        "answer_line":"",         
    }
    for problem in problems:
        operand1, operator, operand2 = problem.split()
    if operator not in ["+", "-"]:
        return "Error: Operator must be '+' or '-'."

    if not operand1.isdigit() or not operand2.isdigit():
        return 'Error: Numbers must only contain digits.'

    if len(operand1) > 4 or len(operand2) > 4:
        return 'Error: Numbers cannot be more than four digits.'

    width = max(len(operand1), len(operand2)) + 2
    arranged_problems["first_line"] += operand1.rjust(width) + "    "
    arranged_problems["second_line"] += operator + " " + operand2.rjust(width - 2) + "    "
    arranged_problems["dash_line"] += "-" * width + "    "

    if show_answer:
        if operator == "+":
            answer = str(int(operand1) + int(operand2))
        else:
            answer = str(int(operand1) - int(operand2))
        arranged_problems["answer_line"] += answer.rjust(width) + "    "  

arranged_output = arranged_problems["first_line"].rstrip() + "\n"
arranged_output += arranged_problems["second_line"].rstrip() +"\n"
arranged_ouput += arranged_problems["dash_line"].rstrip()
if show_answer:
    arranged_output += "\n" + arranged_problems["answer_line"].rstrip()

    return arranged_output
print(f'\n{arithmetic_arranger(["32 - 698", "1 - 3801", "45 + 43", "123 + 49", "988 + 40"], True)}')

These lines are outside of the scope of the function

How do I fix it please?

You fix it the same way you fix any indentation?
