• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

replit I take it?

would be better to use your own pc if available

you get more out of it than some hosted version

1. you don't call the function you defined
2. you take an argument called incidentSeverity but immediately throw away and replace its value
3. incidentSeverity is set to the literal string "enter severity level: ". did you mean to use input() there?
4. you're comparing incidentSeverity to variables called minor, moderate, and severe. you didn't define these anywhere. most likely you wanted to make them strings, in which case you need to surround them with quotes.

So text editor?

I mean command prompt?

[copper furnace]

Will do

[viral crown]

yeah that works. something like vscode would do

[copper furnace]

tbf, i did use str because i think our professor wants us to do so in the intructions

@copper furnace that just says that they expect incidentSeverity to be a string. The input() function returns a string.

Oh, you don't need that line at all: you get given incidentSeverity when the function is called. Just use it.

i.e. remove incidentSeverity = str("enter security level: ') entirely, or move it out of the function.

[copper furnace]

Ok

Then just leave the rest of the code as is?

Or is there anything else I should change?

[vale ferry]

Other have pointed out that you're comparing to variables instead of strings, etc.
