</div>

my code is `# 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 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.  
enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()  
meow = 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!  
canAttack  
pass  
`

Please make sure your code is formatted, try for the next time to insert the code on a new line different from the text you out 🙂 I have formatted it for you for this time.

> [@Aya](#):

so this is unnecessary, you can remove it.

> [@Aya](#):
>

This means that you should make a variable called `canAttack` and assign the function `inAttackRange(enemy)` to it.

Hint: `canAttack = inAttackRange(enemy)`

Now the `inAttackRange` function either returns `True` or `False` so this means that `canAttack`’s value will be True or False.

> [@Aya](#):
>
> `# If the result stored in canAttack is True, then attack!`

So make an if-statement chceking if `canAttack` is True, and if so, cleave.
