4,285 PointsIndentation for print after the final call of our average function.
Why are we not giving four blank spaces after the call of average function in the last as the way we always do ?

The code that is indented are part of the function (in our case here) and tells what the function should do when it's called and the unindented code is the part where we actually call the function to use it.
I hope this helps. ~Alex

4,285 PointsPlease correct me if I am wrong ?
So, when we define the function, the code needs to be indented and when we call the function to use it, it's not necessary to indent it.
Alexander Davison
65,469 PointsWell, you certainly can call a function inside of a function. But all of the code indented and put inside the function will be only run if another part of a program calls it.
If this continues to be strange, please review the videos about functions in Python. That is a very good way to refresh your mind ;)
