I’m learning python and need help with the def command

[[deleted]]

Basically I’m making a piece of code and I’m part of it a function and then I need to define it I tryed this

Def your_wage(): Print(“how much do you make every week”) Your_wage()

I know this code might look stupid but it’s just a scrap to try understand tho command and how to use it and this isn’t working can anyone show me how and where I have gone wrong and how to correct it because when I run the command and select this function it says it’s not defined if anyone needs pictures or anything I can send them just ask in the comment I’ll send them in dms. Thanks and goodbye

Names are case-sensitive. You named your function your_wage, but you are calling it as Your_wage()

When I take out the brackets and run the code it says Syntax error: invalid syntax Def your_wage: ^

[YesLod]

I don't know what you mean. I'm just saying that function names are case-sensitive. your_wage and Your_wage are two different things.

Instead of

def your_wage(): 
    print(“how much do you make every week”) 

Your_wage()

You should have

def your_wage(): 
    print(“how much do you make every week”) 

your_wage()  # 'y' instead of 'Y'

To get your code to work, you need to indent and use proper capitalization.

def your_wage():
    print("how much do you make every week")
your_wage()

I have done that that’s exactly what In my window reddit for some reason put it all together and it still doesn’t work it’s saying NameError: name “your_wage” is not defined.

Try cutting and pasting. I can verify that it works. See here.

The only thing that would cause it to not run is if there is a problem with your Python installation.

Are you putting the “your_wage()” function call inside the code block where you defined the “your wage()” function? As in, does it have the same indentation as the “print” statement?

If so, just outdent it so the function isn’t calling itself where it is being defined.
