1,553 PointsWhat am I missing in my code in this task?
As the task says, create a new function named "main" and put everything under the line 22 in it. So my code goes like: def main(): show_help(). But I think I'm missing something?
def show_help():
# print out instructions on how to use the app
print("What should we pick up at the store?")
print("""
Enter 'DONE' to stop adding items.
Enter 'HELP' for this help.
Enter 'SHOW' to see your current list.
""")
def show_list(shopping_list):
# print out the list
print("Here's your list:")
for item in shopping_list:
print(item)
def add_to_list(shopping_list, new_item):
# add new items to our list
shopping_list.append(new_item)
print("Added {}. List now has {} items.".format(new_item, len(shopping_list)))
return shopping_list
def main():
show_help()
shopping_list = []
while True:
new_item = input("> ")
if new_item == 'DONE':
break
elif new_item == 'HELP':
show_help()
continue
elif new_item == 'SHOW':
show_list(shopping_list)
continue
add_to_list(shopping_list, new_item)
show_list(shopping_list)

3,781 PointsIt's just an indentation issue, check your last line! That should be indented so that it is inside the main() function.
