Help with the level "zig zag and zoom" in the Desert World

I am stuck in the level Zig Zag and Zoom, in the desert, and I just get stuck after the first zig-zag. I don’t understand what is wrong with my code so please help me understand what my error is so I will not make it again. =)

Escape from Death Valley!

Move by with a zigzag pattern using real modulo functions.

This function returns a value from 0 to 15:

def mod15(n):
while n >= 15:
n -= 15
return n

This function should return a value from 0 to 9:

def mod9(n):
# While n is greater or equal to 9, subtract 9 from n:
while n > 9:
n = n-9
return n

Don’t change the following code:

while True:
time = hero.time
if time < 30:
y = 10 + 3 * mod15(time)
else:
y = 20 + 3 * mod9(time)
x = 10 + time
hero.moveXY(x, y)

Please format your code as it says in the faq (located in the task bar to the left of your profile in the top right corner)
Thanks,

You’re supposed to be pretty much copying the first function(mod15), into the second function(mod9) but with nine instead of fifteen. I can see 3 differences between them, 2 of the them matter and the other one doesn’t.

It works! thx! =D

Mod edit: It’s great that you fixed it and figured it out but please don’t post final solutions.
