blud just violated this man lmfao

No, you didn't. Your code had multiple major issues.

For some reason you removed the def from the beginning of the declaration, this is basic day 1 Python. Also there were missing colons in two places that are critical to syntax, otherwise the solution set up crashes. Finally, even if all that was right, you were printing the output instead of returning a value.

Otherwise, yeah, it was exactly the same.

i wrote the same thing and it did not accept my answer!!!!!!!!!!!!
