Hi, I have been on this level for quite some time now approx. 2.5 hours and I can’t figure out what is wrong with my code can someone help?  
Here is my code:

```python
# Tell the wizard the distance to the coming ogres.

# This function finds the nearest enemy and returns the distance to it.
# If there is no enemy, the function returns 0.
def nearestEnemyDistance():
    enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()
    result = 0
    if enemy:
        result = hero.distanceTo(enemy)
    return result

while True:
    # Call nearestEnemyDistance() and
    # save the result in the variable enemyDistance.
    enemyDistance = nearestEnemyDistance()
    # If the enemyDistance is greater than 0: 
    if hero.distanceTo > 0 : 
        # Say the value of enemyDistance variable.
        hero.say("nearestEnemyDistance()")

```

Remove the quotes in `hero.say("nearestEnemyDistance()")`. Quotes will make your hero say exactly what’s inside the quotes, but since you want to say the **return value** instead of just `nearestEnemyDistance()`, you’d have to change that to `hero.say(nearestEnemyDistance())`

The code gets stuck on the return command why is this?

Change the if statement to:

```python
if enemyDistance > 0:

```

Then inside of the if statement, say enemyDistance.
