my code:

```python
# You'll need good strategy to win this one!
# Your clone will have the same equipment you have!
# But, they're not very skilled at using special powers.
while True:
    enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()
    if enemy.distance < 10:
        hero.attack(enemy)
    if hero.health < hero.maxHealth/2:
        hero.jumpTo(36,53)

```

this is where the error is:

```python
  if enemy.distance < 10:

```

thanks moon!

Uhhhh, it’s supposed to be `hero.distanceTo(enemy)`… I think you should have already learned this in the forest.

And the argument needs to be a position, so like:  
Javascript:

```javascript
{x: 36, y: 53};

```

Python:

```python
{"x": 36, "y": 53}

```

The problem is that you haven’t checked if the enemy exists.

</div>

you still need to do `enemy && hero.distanceTo(enemy)` or `enemy and hero.distanceTo(enemy)` to check if the enemy exists or it will throw an error.
