calcTotal not defined, but after I defined it, I still get the error, calTotal not defined, what else am I doing wrong?

Traceback (most recent call last): File "python", line 90, in <module> File "python", line 37, in main NameError: name 'calcTotal' is not defined

def main(): endProgram = "no" endOrder = "no" totalBurger = 0 totalFries = 0 totalSoda = 0 subtotal = 0 tax = 0 total = 0 option = 0 burgerCount = 0 fryCount = 0 sodaCount = 0 calcTotal = 0

while endProgram == "no" :
    totalBurger, totalSoda, totalFries, subtotal, tax, total = resetVariables()
    while endOrder == "no" :
        option = input("Enter 1 for Yum Yum burger : ")
        if option == 1:
            #call getBurger
            totalBurger = getBurger(totalBurger, burgerCount)
        elif option == 2:
            totalFries = getFries(totalFries, fryCount)
        while endOrder == "no" :
            option = input("Enter 2 for Grease Yum fries : ")

Wow, after struggling with this for literally two weeks now, off and on, I think I've finally made some notable progress. Besides the above code, there's more, of course. I've been leery to turn my assignment in because I couldn't get everything to run right. After I'd fix a frustrating spacing issue then I'd end up with a new error. Now, I've finally got it to run top to bottom, sort of, it's still not quite right, because it is supposed to be completing some calculations after it gets some more info from the user, such as how many burgers do you want etc and then it is supposed to calculate the costs and tax and add it all into a neat little total and print it out for you. It's just coming back with $0.0 as the total and it isn't asking how many of anything that I want, so no true calculations are being completed. So, still more work to be done.
