Note sure. I copy/pasted your code into the challenge and it passed.

I'm working on this same one and it says: Bummer: Whoops - did you create a function called print_topic?

This is clearly a problem... Any suggestions on how to progress past this?

Strange... I reloaded the page, tried again, and it worked fine. Either way, the error message provided as a response is not even close to what I was instructed to do.

Still buggy July 2023. As suggested, I made sure to include the four spaces. After reloading the page twice, it passed.
