Hi @salamaiman07,
Welcome to fCC comunity.
It appears you indent the new function you created. Also appears that indentation given to other lines below it were done twice.

Do correct these and you should be fine.

:+1: happy coding.

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.

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.
