i don’t really know what to write on this level. here’s my code:

```python
def averageSize(burls):
    sum = sumSize(burls)
    return sum / burls.length

def sumSize(burls):
    pass

while True:
    burls = hero.findEnemies()
    averege = averageSize(burls)
    hero.say(averege)

```

You are just about there…kinda 😉

In the sumSize function, you need to iterate through the burls array, totalling their health.

Is this function

> ```python

Find and return the sum of the health values of the elements in the _burls_ array.

Do you remember the level with the function that finds out the sum of the healths of all the enemies? ( like in the level Gas Attack) Well, do the same thing just for burls instead of enemies.  
Do you understand now?

How return the variabile totalHealth out of the _sumSize_ function and you will complete the level.

</div>

> [@ActualllOLLIEpop](#):

Instead of that put this:

```python
burl.size

```

Before this

> [@ActualllOLLIEpop](#):
>
> `pass`

Put this:  
**return totalHealth**  
Instead of this

> [@ActualllOLLIEpop](#):
>
> `burls.length`

Put this:

```python
len(burls)

```

no. here’s my new code:

```python
def averageSize(burls):
    sum = sumSize(burls)
    return sum / burls.length

def sumSize(burls):
    totalHealth = 0
    for burl in burls:
        totalHealth += hero.size
    return totalHealth
    pass

while True:
    burls = hero.findEnemies()
    averege = averageSize(burls)
    
    hero.say(averege)

```
