So my DS is quite good coding with scratch and I saw Amazon were offering a free course introducing Python. He started off well programming a drone all good. Trouble is as the projects progress he is struggling and there is no help function. Unless you get a question right you cannot move on to the next question so he is stuck.
Is there anyone who can help him with this question. He has had a go but it is rejecting his code.

Step 4, should it be a greater than symbol after the 5?

(I know nothing about coding!)

Or the sign before 7 is the wrong way round - I'm just wondering if they should be different. Does this make any sense? Grin

Hi, you're almost there!

On line 4, you need to replace time with get_time().

Alternatively you could do time = get_time() on line 3.

At the moment, the time variable on line 4 hasn't been defined. Likewise, get_time() on line 3 isn't actually doing anything, as nothing is being assigned to the result of the function call.

Interested in this thread?

Thank you have deleted line 3 and adjusted line 4 but think we need a repeat function at the end?

Without looking at the rest of the exercise and context, I wouldn't have thought repeat() is needed at all.

Here is the new code which is still not being accepted.

Try not putting the underscore between gettime(), or you could try declaring a variable such as time = gettime() and putting that there. I don't have experience in the python language though, just c++ and node.js.

Should line 3 be something like this?

if gettime() >= 5 and gettime()
