Python Development Techdegree Student 2,122 PointsI'm pretty new to this stuff but I do understand the general idea of what you are trying to say. So I tried to recreate my code from scratch just to get rid of any spacing errors and I ended up finding that on line 13 I forgot an extra closing parentheses! It seems to work now, thank you very much :)
