Does anyone know what this code is missing?

def packer(name=None, **kwargs): print(kwargs)

def unpacker(fist_name=None, last_name=None): if first_name and last_name: print("Hi {} {}!".format(first_name, last_name)) else: print("Hi no name!")

packer(name="Kenneth", num=42, spanish_inquisition=None) unpacker(**{"last_name": "Love", "first_name": "Kenneth"})

Hello Ruddy,

Can you format your code properly so that the community can read it easily? Reference the Markdown Cheatsheet below the answer box :arrow_heading_down:

hi, I see a misspelled word : "unpacker(fist_name " should be first_name".

  • Indentation is not consistent.
  • You called the first argument to unpacker fist_name, but later on you refer to "first_name".
  • I'm assuming this is not code for a [Treehouse] code challenge, but if it is, you may want to read the challenge instructions again. This is probably not what the challenge wants.

Thank you very much Alexander. This code is from the workspace's exercise. I looked at this code multiple time and I still was not able to catch that misspelling from "first_name". Thanks a lot, I will have to pay more attention to these kinds of errors.

          <p>

def packer(name=None, **kwargs):
    print(kwargs)


def unpacker(fist_name=None, last_name=None):
    if first_name and last_name:
        print("Hi {} {}!".format(first_name, last_name))
    else:
      print("Hi no name!")


packer(name="Kenneth", num=42, spanish_inquisition=None)
unpacker(**{"last_name": "Love", "first_name": "Kenneth"})
