Hello @a2211226566 !

The error hint provides the solution to the step.

It only wants one line; not the if, else if, or else.

It states in the return a single subtraction calculation using a and b

and the error message shows us how to provide that line.

I hope this helps you.

Wishing you good progress on your coding journey. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you! I didn’t notice this, maybe next time I should focus on the steps instead of the prompts…

You are very welcome.

No worries! We all interpret things differently, and learn from corrections.

And, I took a while to figure this one out, myself, even though it was right there. So, do not feel too bad.

Wishing you good success on your coding journey! :slightly_smiling_face:
