Ex26 I have some problem with line 65

Here is the error I get :
Traceback (most recent call last):

formula = secret_formula(startpoint)
NameError: name ‘startpoint’ is not defined

and here is my code :

print("How old are you?", end=' ')
age = input()
print("How tall are you?", end=' ')
height = input()
print("How much do you weigh?", end=' ')
weight = input()

print(f"So, you're {age} old, {height} tall and {weight} heavy.")

print(txt_again.read())

people = 20

if people < cats:

if people < cats:
    print("Not many cats! The world is saved!")

if people < dogs:
    print("The world is drooled on!")

if people > dogs:
    print("The world is dry!")


dogs += 5

if people >= dogs:
    print("People are greater than or equal to dogs.")

if people <= dogs:

I will appreciate for any help :slight_smile:

You can figure this out on your own. The error message says that startpoint is not defined. You think it is, but alas, the computer is always right. So go find where it’s defined and compare closely. :wink:

Thanks, I’ll look at it again :wink:

I make it run :upside_down_face: I just needed a small break and look at it again :slight_smile:
