movement.py works in the console but not in the website

my code works in console but not in the website i don't know why?

console code with output

>>> def move(player, direction):
...     x, y, hp = player
...     dirx , diry = direction
...     if x + dirx < 0:
...         hp-=5
...         x = 0
...     if x + dirx > 9:
...         hp-=5
...         x = 9
...     if y + diry > 9:
...         hp-=5
...         y = 9
...     if y +diry < 0:
...         hp-=5
...         y = 0
...     return x, y, hp
...
>>> move((0, 9, 5), (0, 1))
(0, 9, 0)
>>> move((0, 1, 10), (-1, 0))
(0, 1, 5)
>>>

website code

movement.py 
# EXAMPLES:
# move((1, 1, 10), (-1, 0)) => (0, 1, 10)
# move((0, 1, 10), (-1, 0)) => (0, 1, 5)
# move((0, 9, 5), (0, 1)) => (0, 9, 0)

def move(player, direction):
    x, y, hp = player
    dirx , diry = direction
    if x + dirx < 0:
        hp-=5
        x = 0
    if x + dirx > 9:
        hp-=5
        x = 9
    if y + diry > 9:
        hp-=5
        y = 9
    if y +diry < 0:
        hp-=5
        y = 0
    return x, y, hp

Hi Suheyb,

I tried the code at the bottom on my computer and it seems to work fine for what it's supposed to do. In your second workspace, you quoted 3 examples. The second and third work as you set up your code. The first one does not because you have not set up the code to do anything unless the results are past the limits (less than 0, greater than 9). There is nothing in your code to set up what to do in between. Since your first example has (x, y) at (1, 1) with a direction of (-1, 0). None of the if statements will execute: since 1 minus 1 = 0, x is not < 0 or > 9. Maybe this is something you were planning to set up at a later stage, but I think your code is working for what you set it up to do. If I misunderstood which part is not working, please let me know, as I did not see it specified.

Best, Elad
