Code Challenge Wrong Response

import sys
response = input("Wanna start the movie?")
def start_movie(response):
    if response == 'n' or 'N':
        sys.exit()
    else: 
        print("Enjoy the show!")

What's wrong with this? Why wrong response?

Two things,you are mising a variable "response" after the word "or" in line 4. Therefore,you need to change the "if response == 'n' or "N" :" to "if response =="n" or response == "N":" This is the first thing that you need to correct. Second,you don't really need to set it up a function "start_movie" ,but it is ok. If you set it in function, you have to use the function by adding the start_movie(response) at the next line ,else you are not using the function that you wrote.

import sys
response = input("Wanna start the movie?")
def start_movie(response):
    if response == 'n' or response == 'N':
        sys.exit()
    else: 
        print("Enjoy the show!")
start_movie(response)

#in line 4 ,i have added the missing variable "reponse" after the "or". That is how we use the or statment
#in the end of the coding, you also need to add the function you wrote ,which is start_movie(response), inorder to tell the script that you are using the function you wrote.
