i am stuck at it too. can you help me to pass it?
what is wrong? can you tell me?
Please post your code so we can help 
Sorry, my telepathic abilities are limited. Could you give more information?

I have the SAME PROBLEM GETTING PAST THIS LEVEL!
This is my code
def mult(number, times):
total = 0
while times > 0:
total += number
times -= 1
return total
# This function returns the number to the exponent power.
def power(number, exponent):
total = 1
# Complete the function.
times -= 1
return total
# Don't change the following code
# You can find coefficients for the equation on the tower
tower = hero.findFriends()[0]
a = tower.a
b = tower.b
c = tower.c
d = tower.d
x = hero.pos.x
while True:
# To find the path use a cubic equation
y = a * power(x, 3) + b * power(x, 2) + c * power(x, 1) + d * power(x, 0)
hero.moveXY(x, y)
x = x + 5
The little ducky shows up.
The power() is missing some parts. Take a closer look at the mult() function above. You will want to mimic a lot of the setup, with a minor modification to some words and the math symbol.
To get multiplication you add one number as many times of the other. 5 x 4 = 20
5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20
To get exponential power, you don’t add one number by the times of the other, but something else: 2 ^ 4 = 16
I can’t pass, can you help?
This is my code, what is the problem?
Walk through the minefield
This function returns the number multiplied by the times
def mult(number, times):
total = 0
while times > 0:
total += number
times -= 1
return total
This function returns the number to the exponent power.
def power(number, exponent):
total = 1
# Complete the function.
while exponent > 1:
total += number
exponent -= 1
return total
Don’t change the following code
You can find coefficients for the equation on the tower
tower = hero.findFriends()[0]
a = tower.a
b = tower.b
c = tower.c
d = tower.d
x = hero.pos.x
while True:
# To find the path use a cubic equation
y = a * power(x, 3) + b * power(x, 2) + c * power(x, 1) + d * power(x, 0)
hero.moveXY(x, y)
x = x + 5

y = a * power(x, 3) + b * power(x, 2) + c * power(x, 1) + d * power(x, 0)
hero.moveXY(x, y)
x = x + 5
plz help me to improve my skills
while hero.time > 1:
Look at the top bit of code as a guide. This level doesn’t need anything to do with hero.time!
while hero.time > 1:
total += number
Think about what the mathematical function is. For ‘times’, if you say 3 times y you actually mean y + y + y. For the third ‘exponential’ of y you want y x y x y. What function do you need to put in?
times -= 2
This should be the same as the one in the top bit of code.
the ducky tries to be helpful when it sees something it doesn’t recognise, and it suggests what it thinks might be right.
In this case, it’s isn’t right, so ignore it. You want ‘exponent’ in there instead.
like this?
def mult(number, times):
total = 0
while times > 0:
total += number
times -= 1
return total
# This function returns the number to the exponent power.
def power(number, exponent):
total = 1
# Complete the function.
while exponent < 1:
total -= number
exponent += 2
return total
# Don't change the following code
# You can find coefficients for the equation on the tower
tower = hero.findFriends()[0]
a = tower.a
b = tower.b
c = tower.c
d = tower.d
x = hero.pos.x
while True:
# To find the path use a cubic equation
y = a * power(x, 3) + b * power(x, 2) + c * power(x, 1) + d * power(x, 0)
hero.moveXY(x, y)
x = x + 5
def power(number, exponent):
total = 1
# Complete the function.
while exponent > 0:
total *= number # Since this is exponent, you MULTIPLY AND ASSIGN
exponent -= 1
return total
Try it now, it should work

no, it does not sry. I don’t do anything.
How??? it worked for me???
@1styoutuber, can you post your code (again!)? It helps if we can check the indentations/spelling mistakes each time.
