5,675 PointsHey! Couple problems here, easy to fix- in your while
loop, the first line, new_item = input("> ")
needs to be properly indented. It needs to line up with the other lines in the loop, and it's one space too short. Also, add_to_list(shopping_list, new_item)
and show_list(shopping_list)
need to be inside main()
. Just indent them so that they're inside. Once you fix that, you'll be good to go! Happy coding :)
