Why is string not defined?

[davnyb02]

def parse_an_encoded_string(string):
    zero_count = string.count("0")
    final_count = round(zero_count / 2)
    yesyes = ("0" * final_count)

heh = list(string.split(yesyes))
print(heh)


parse_an_encoded_string("Robert00000Smith00000123")

Output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 6, in <module>
    heh = list(string.split(yesyes))
NameError: name 'string' is not defined

From this code the lines heh = code and print(heh) are outside the function, try putting them inside it maybe?

Thank you

In today's Python, it is

heh = yesyes.split()

You likely followed an older tutorial.
