785 PointsWhich code am I leaving out of fucntion
I am still getting a response to ensure that all code is within function. When I run the same function on repl.it I get a NameError! as the shopping_list function is not defined.
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 shop():
shopping_list = []
while True:
# ask for new items
new_item = input("> ")
# be able to quit the app
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)
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
#define new main function
def main():
#ident correctly given new main function definition
show_help()
shop()
show_list(shopping_list)
main()

is outside of any functions. You don't need it to be out there.

785 PointsHi Team, I am really stuck and I would like to really make progress from this point onwards. Tell me what's wrong with the code

Treehouse Guest TeacherYou need to put all of your code inside of functions. You have main()
being called outside of any functions. Delete that line.
