        return False

# Attack ogres only when they're within reach.
while True:
    # Find the nearest enemy and store it in a variable.
    canAttack = hero.findNearestEnemy()
    # Call inAttackRange(enemy), with the enemy as the argument
    # and save the result in the variable canAttack.
    canAttack = inAttackRange(canAttack)
    # If the result stored in canAttack is True, then attack!

Change that first canAttack variable to enemy.

> [@Ashton\_Gifford](#):
>
> `inAttackRange(canAttack)`

Then change this canAttack parameter to enemy.

> [@Ashton\_Gifford](#):
>
> ` if canAttack == true:`

Then just check if cannAttack:

```python
if canAttack:
    #attack not cleave

```
