Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• 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.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

Why is your question an image of text.

Also, the error says it's looking for a function called hello. What is the code you're submitting? Do you have a function called hello?

[quaint grotto]

Could the function be the variable? e.g. health = "Hello World!"

[wintry lake]

No. A function is defined using def.

(Usually)

def some_function():
    pass

some_function is a function.

A function is code that's meant to be executed later. For the above function, you'd call it to run the code, and to call it, you'd do some_function()

They're presumably wanting you to write a function that prints Hello World when it's called.

Thank you very much brother 😭

I would recommend studying functions well. They are extraordinarily important to understand. You cannot write or understand code without understanding functions.

[quaint grotto]

Yes, I'm really new to programming and I don't know anything, I thank you for your recommendation, now I'll go study them, don't you know of any video on youtube or page that shows them?

[wintry lake]

You're welcome.

And not off the top of my head. When in doubt though, Real Python is generally quite good:
