```python
# You are trapped. Don't move, it'll be painful.
# This function checks if the enemy is in your attack range.
def inAttackRange(enemy):
distance = hero.distanceTo(enemy);
# Almost all swords have attack range of 3.
if enemy:
(distance <= 3) {
return true;
else:
return false;
# Attack ogres only when they're within reach.
while True:
# Find the nearest enemy and store it in a variable.
var canAttack = inAttackRange(enemy);
# Call inAttackRange(enemy), with the enemy as the argument
# and save the result in the variable canAttack.
inAttackRange(enemy)}
# If the result stored in canAttack is true, then attack!
hero.attack(enemy);

You don’t need to use “var” or }'s in python either.

To sum up what everyone here has said, don’t use var, }, or ; if you are using Python. Also, with the `if enemy` statement, putting `(distance <= 3)` doesn’t really do anything. Instead, you want to put `if enemy and hero.distanceTo(enemy) <= 3:` Also, somewhere, you need to say what the term `enemy` actually means. I strongly suggest replacing `var canAttack = inAttackRange(enemy);` with `enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()`.
