```python
while True:
enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()
if enemy and enemy.type == "munchkin":
hero.attack(enemy)
item = hero.findNearestItem()
if item and item.type == "coin":
pos = item.pos

Hi!
You don’t need to define item.pos, pos.x and pos.y . These three lines are unnecessary )
Good luck!

You can use the item.pos.x and item.pos.y directly in the moveXY function.

but I have 9 statements instead of 8
```python
while True:
enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()
if enemy and enemy.type == "munchkin":
hero.attack(enemy)
item = hero.findNearestItem()
if item and item.type == "coin":
x=item.pos
y=item.pos
hero.moveXY(item.pos.x, item.pos.y)
```

```python
while True:
enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()
if enemy and enemy.type == "munchkin":
hero.attack(enemy)
item = hero.findNearestItem()
if item and item.type == "coin":
x=item.pos
y=item.pos
hero.moveXY(item.pos.x, item.pos.y)
```
This code is correct, just put out lines defining “x” and “y”.
P.S. It’s possible to make this lvl with 6 lines ) (at least with Pyton, idk about other languages)
