Python Python Basics (2015) Logic in Python Fully Functional

Can you tell me why my script doesn't run?

I created a new file and called it functions.py then wrote this:

def hows_my_parrots(): print("He is okay")

hows_my_parrots()

Console

treehouse: ~/workspace$ python functions.py treehouse: ~/workspace$

When I ran the script in the console, nothing appeared. I'm expecting to get "He is okay" just like in the example for the video.

I'm using Chrome for my browser.

Your code needs to be indented properly -

def hows_my_parrots(): 
    print("He is okay")

hows_my_parrots()
