2,570 PointsInstead of just posting the code here and ask for help you could describe the problem in a more specific way. Perhaps you could check the errors and try to explain what it is that you need help with.
I'll gladly help you, but when you just post 'help' and rely on the forum to give you every answer, I don't feel the slightest interest.

I recommend you retry the challenge again but remember to ensure you function logic is indented correctly and not moved around in any way as the task is just asking for you to define a function called main
around lines 22 and below.
Happy coding!
