Hi! I'm not sure what you mean by
> Also if I have the terms, and return on separate lines in the > definition then I get this error. You _have_ to have the different statements on separate lines, like I did. (Unless you use a semicolon to separate the statements, I suppose.) Did you combine them? It looks like you did but it's hard to be sure because sometimes carriage returns are lost during the cut-and-paste process. Paying attention to the syntax is even more important Python than in many other languages because Python is whitespace-sensitive-- if you don't use the right indentation, the code might not work. I think it might be useful to read through a Python tutorial if you're more familiar with the syntax from other languages. It won't take too long but may clear up some of the confusion. As for the NameError: > Well I did use your method but I still get an error. Actually, it doesn't look like you did use my code. You modified the last line to read "return term1 + term2 if t != 0 else infinity", thereby introducing a variable t which you hadn't defined, which leads to the NameError explaining -- reasonably enough -- that you're referring to a name 't' which you didn't define. Does that make sense?
