44,807 PointsAre the three lines function calls at the end indented? If so, try un-indenting them to get them out of the yell function.
def yell(text):
text = text.upper()
number_of_characters = len(text)
result = text + "!" * (number_of_characters // 2)
print (result)
yell("You are doing great!")
yell("Dont forget to ask for help!")
yell("Dont repeat yourself. Keep things Dry")
To use Markdown to format the code in the forums, you can put three backticks (`) and the name of the language (python) on the line before the code block, then put three backticks on the line after the code block. White space matters to Python, and Markdown will preserve spaces.

44,807 PointsHave you tried saving the file notification.py before trying to run it? If so, does the file include a print statement?

def yell(text): text = text.upper() number_of_characters = len(text) result = text + "!" * (number_of_characters // 2) print (result)
yell("You are doing great!") yell("Dont forget to ask for help!") yell("Dont repeat yourself. Keep things Dry")
I made sure to save it and everything. Also made sure to run my ls -l to see if the file was there.

217 Pointsi have the same issue with the amount of "!" when I do everything correctly.. maybe a bug in the workspace? I don't think it's a big issue as this is a minor thing I believe
