Like it tells me that it’s an ident error and when I fix it I get 3 new errors
Let me fetch the exact code in a second
str(input("This is an STR stop point press whatever characters on your keyboard and screen will clear "))
cls()
print("Hello this is a cool program")
def namelist(dagistan, khabib):
print("hi")
name_list = ["Johapp", "Matthew", "Sion"]
return dagistan,
#print(name_list, "\nHello guys")

Hey @narrow pivot!

codeblock is done with backticks, not quotes
```
and py should be on the same line as the first 3 backticks
```py
<code here>
```
perfect
do you understand what indentation means?
viral ridge
What exactly do you want your function to do?
viral ridge
its when there has to be like space but tab
Yes, but what purpose does it have?
viral ridge
that's ok, that's why I'm asking, so I can see what you understand already
it's not just the first line that must be indented, it's any line that needs to be part of the function
def function():
print("This is in the function")
print("This is also in the function")
print("This too is in the function")
print("This is not in the function")
can you tell from this which lines are inside the function and which lines are not?
narrow pivot
viral ridge
well based on the example I just showed you, is your return inside the function or outside the function?
narrow pivot
```py
def function():
print("This is in the function")
print("This is al...
ermm i dont see a return but from what u tell me its prolly everything except the bottom where it clearly states its not
lol
narrow pivot
well based on the example I just showed you, is your `return` inside the functio...
AHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Tysm
hold on let me see if it works now
viral ridge
what exactly are you trying to do with your function though?
It doesn't really seem to be doing anything meaningful
narrow pivot
i have a school project
for every class we need to create a python program
and this is one of the 8 instructions for ts program :
Create a program that accepts names and adds them to a list - use functions to add, remove and change names (NOTE! no print or input in functions)
this is like the third one
viral ridge
Your function is not doing what is asked
viral ridge
Yes, but you should not be creating the list inside the function
viral ridge
do you understand what the parameters of a function are for?
narrow pivot
my native tongue isnt english could you rephrase that somehow?
viral ridge
def function(param1, param2):
when you define a function, you can also provide "parameters" inside the ()
these are "required information" for the function to do its job
narrow pivot
no im not very informed over what they are for
narrow pivot
okay
viral ridge
def get_rectangle_area(b, h):
return b * h
the parameters are b and h
you couldn't calculate the area with just b or just h, you need both
so this tells the function that when we need to use it, you must provide those 2 values
!e
def get_rectangle_area(b, h):
return b * h
print(get_rectangle_area(10, 5))
:white_check_mark: Your 3.14 eval job has completed with return code 0.
50
when we use the function, it's known as "calling" the function
I gave it 2 values. 10 and 5
python is smart enough to know that 10 is b and 5 is h
narrow pivot
yeah
viral ridge
ok, so instead, we could make a function that "adds something to a list"
instead of b and h
the parameters would be "the list we want to add something to" and "the thing we want to add to that list"
def add_to_list(a_list, value):
I'm really sorry but I have to go! Hopefully that's enough info to get started with!
viral ridge
np!
narrow pivot
its appreciated
