Can someone tell me what is wrong with this code? Thanks. There is an error in line 21

new_list=[]

def show_help(): print(""" Enter "DONE" to stop adding items Enter "HELP" to see help menu Enter "SHOW" to see the current list """)

def show_list():

print("Here is your list:")

for item in new_list: print(item)

def add_item(new_item): new_list.append(new_item) print("İtem added")

show _help()

while True: new_item=input(" > ")

if new_item=="DONE": break elif new_item=="HELP": show_help() elif new_item=="SHOW": show_list() else: add_item(new_item)

show_list()

I'm sorry, I actually can't tell you what's wrong with your code. But I'm guessing it's an indentation error somewhere. Because when I put it in and indent everything correctly, it runs fine! I took the liberty of adding a line or two of code that will actually print out the list. Take a look! 

new_list=[]

def show_help(): 
  print(""" Enter "DONE" to stop adding items Enter "HELP" to see help menu Enter "SHOW" to see the current list """)

def show_list():
  print("Here is your list:")
  for item in new_list:
    print(item)

for item in new_list: 
  print(item)

def add_item(new_item): 
  new_list.append(new_item) 
  print("İtem added")

show_help()

while True: 
  new_item=input(" > ")
  if new_item == "DONE":
    break
  elif new_item == "HELP":
    show_help() 
  elif new_item=="SHOW":
    show_list() 
  else: add_item(new_item)

show_list()

There has to be an indentation error you're missing somewhere. Hope this helps! :sparkles:
