Import PDB and call set_trace() where it's needed. IndentationError: pdb.set_trace()?

Need help with passing this.

starter.py 
import pdb

def something_silly(arg1, arg2):
    if len(arg1) > len(arg2):

    pdb.set_trace()

    arg1[0] = arg2[0]

return arg1, arg2

import pdb
def something_silly(arg1, arg2):
    if len(arg1) > len(arg2):
        pdb.set_trace()
        arg1[0] = arg2[0]
    return arg1, arg2

You need to format your code properly. Python interprets white space. The lines in your if block should be indented and your return should be in line with the if statement. Hope this helps.
