The question asks you to put all the code from line 22 onwards inside a new method called main. To do that, add the function with main(): and then indent all the following lines. So, add main(): at line 22, indent the lines below, and that's it.
Give that a try and let me know how you get on. I'll post some code if you're still stuck.
That should work for you.
Steve.

57,712 PointsHi Jayesh,
The main() method is called when the code is executed - have a look at this post that gives some guidance on that. Just like in C++ or Java, the main method determines the core of the code; it is called when the file/module is executed.
Have a read around the post, and try a search for 'python main method' - you'llfind answers way better than I can provide.
Steve.

762 PointsYou right... But i will say that if we only define main function and not calling main funtion anywhere.....so how the code work......means our program output..??
