231,269 PointsThe function will start on line 22, just above the call to show_help().
So you need to move your definition up two lines to be in the proper place.
Besides adding the definition line, you must move the following lines into the function, so you just indent them one stop (or one more than where they currently are). So you will indent every (non-empty) line below the definition.
Oddly, this is the third question about this same task today. Is there a school using this course?
