You can’t copy and paste your code?

Gorgnub should be a string of characters. A string of characters is defined by quotes ( " ").

As your code is written, I dont think the game can figure out who Gorgnub is, try to make sure it understands that Gorgnub is a string !

Try this. Gorbnub is a name, so therefore it is a string.

```python
enemy4 = "Gorgnub"
distance4 = hero.distanceTo(enemy4)
hero.say(distance4)

```

</div>

put your preformatted text so, we can read your code better.  
you can do that by using \</\> at the top of your text like this:

```python
while True:
    horse = hero.findFriends()
    if horse:
        friend = hero.findNearestFriend()
        hero.attack(friend)

```

He’s just showing you how to format it, that’s not the code you need. What is your current code?
