here’s my code. I’ve been stuck on this level can you help?

# You have one arrow. Make it count!

# This should return the enemy with the most health.

def findStrongestEnemy(enemies):  
strongest = None  
strongestHealth = 0  
enemyIndex = 0  
# While enemyIndex is less than the length of enemies:  
while enemyIndex \< len(enemies):  
# Set an enemy variable to enemies[enemyIndex]  
enemy = enemies[enemyIndex]  
# If enemy.health is greater than strongestHealth  
if enemy.health \> strongestHealth:  
# Set `strongest` to enemy  
# Set strongestHealth to enemy.health  
strongest = enemy  
strongesHealth = enemy.health  
# Increment enemyIndex  
enemyIndex += 1

```
return strongest

```

enemies = hero.findEnemies()  
leader = findStrongestEnemy(enemies)  
if leader:  
hero.say(leader)

I’ll format it for you this time

```python

#This should return the enemy with the most health.
def findStrongestEnemy(enemies):
strongest = None
strongestHealth = 0
enemyIndex = 0
# While enemyIndex is less than the length of enemies:
while enemyIndex < len(enemies):
# Set an enemy variable to enemies[enemyIndex]
enemy = enemies[enemyIndex]
# If enemy.health is greater than strongestHealth
if enemy.health > strongestHealth:
# Set strongest to enemy
# Set strongestHealth to enemy.health
strongest = enemy
strongesHealth = enemy.health
# Increment enemyIndex
enemyIndex += 1

return strongest
enemies = hero.findEnemies()
leader = findStrongestEnemy(enemies)
if leader:
hero.say(leader)

```

all of this should be in the while loop you made
