Python Python Basics (2015) Python for Beginners Call a function

The video doesn't teach me how to write a function, yet the challenge asks me to write a function.

This is only the second code challenge and I already feel like an idiot. If the videos haven't taught me how to write a function yet, how can I be expected to do it.

function.py 
print():
    print("this is the function body")

Hi Lanai,

The challenge is not asking you to write a function, it is asking you to use the print() function.

"Use the print() function to print the string "Hello, Treehouse".

Good luck.
