For the refactor exercise, would I just add def main(): to line 22? I'm not sure what I'm missing.

I'm not sure what I'm missing in the refactor exercise.

I tried adding def main(): to line 22 and calling the main function at the end. Is that not enough?

Hi awesometea!

I think I see where the problem is...When you write the main func (def. main() - note no arguments), make sure everything else is inside and indented. NOTE: the show_list(shopping_list) line must be in-line with the while loop (while True:), and the "break" and "continue" are indented one more time (IF they have those red dots underneath them)

Here's a hint: you can open another tab on your browser window to view the original code w/o the main func., to compare the two.

But I think the issue is likely the alignment of the while loop and line 44 - the show_list(shopping_list) func.
