What do I do? How do I make my hero attack the enemies without killing himself by moving towards them?

# You are trapped. Don’t move, it’ll be painful.

# This function checks if the enemy is in your attack range.

def inAttackRange(enemy):  
distance = hero.distanceTo(enemy)  
# Almost all swords have attack range of 3.  
if distance \<= 3:  
return True  
else:  
return False  
pass

# Attack ogres only when they’re within reach.

while True:  
# Find the nearest enemy and store it in a variable.  
enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()  
# Call inAttackRange(enemy), with the enemy as the argument  
inAttackRange(enemy)  
# and save the result in the variable canAttack.  
canAttack = inAttackRange(enemy)  
# If the result stored in canAttack is True, then attack!  
if inAttackRange is True:  
hero.attack(enemy)  
pass
