My person either isn’t defining the health or is choosing not to say it

```python
while True:
    friends = hero.findFriends()
    enemies = hero.findEnemies()
    # Calculate and compare the total health of your soldiers and the ogres.
    def healthSum(enemies):
        enemiesIndex = 0
        health = 0
        while enemiesIndex < enemies.len:
            enemies = enemies[enemiesIndex]
            enemiesIndex +=1
            health += enemies.health
        return health    
    
    def healthSum(friends):
        friendsIndex = 0
        health = 0
        while friendsIndex < friends.len:
            friends = friends[friendsIndex]
            friendsIndex +=1
            health += friends.health
        return health 
    
    if healthSum(friends) > healthSum(enemies):
        hero.say("Attack")
# Say "Attack" when you are ready.

does, healthSum doesnt know which one you are talking about, and the thing in the brackets has no value, its just an internal variable.  
use:

```python
while True:
    friends = hero.findFriends()
    enemies = hero.findEnemies()
    # Calculate and compare the total health of your soldiers and the ogres.
    def healthSumBad(enemies):
        enemiesIndex = 0
        health = 0
        while enemiesIndex < enemies.len:
            enemies = enemies[enemiesIndex]
            enemiesIndex +=1
            health += enemies.health
        return health    
    
    def healthSumGood(friends):
        friendsIndex = 0
        health = 0
        while friendsIndex < friends.len:
            friends = friends[friendsIndex]
            friendsIndex +=1
            health += friends.health
        return health 
    
    if healthSumGood(friends) > healthSumBad(enemies):
        hero.say("Attack")
# Say "Attack" when you are ready.

```

You need to write the code like this:

```python
enemy = enemies[enemiesIndex]
enemiesIndex += 1
health += enemy.health

```

It is just that you have 2 enemies lists/variable, and the code doesn’t know which one you are talking about. Do that to the friends function and you should be good. Hope this helps,
