Why can't i use def in python?

[celinafregoso99]

I am very new to programming, and previously I made a basic calculator and it uses code like:

def calculator(): num1 = float(input("Enter first number: ")) oprt = input("Enter an operator(exam: +, -, *, /): ") num2 = float(input("Enter second number: ")) if oprt == "+": print(num1 + num2) elif oprt == "-": print(num1 - num2) elif oprt == "*": print(num1 * num2) elif oprt == "/": print(num1 / num2) else: print("Invalid operator")

it works but when I make such a simple choice game with a code like:

def choice_game(): user = input("Enter your name") if user == "Daffa": print("Hello Daffa")

it won't work, can anyone tell me why the code doesn't work, whatever I wrote in the code, the code still doesn't work, I've also tried using a try statement

Please use python tags to wrap posted code so it does not lose the indenting.

Your function works fine for me.

def choice_game(): user = input("Enter your name") if user == "Daffa": print("Hello Daffa") choice_game()

Output:
Enter your nameDaffa Hello Daffa

what does it mean "doesn't work"? do you get error message?

it won't sports, or score. can anyone tell me why the code doesn't work, whatever I wrote in the code, the code still doesn't work, I've also tried using a try statement

Do you see any error while executing the code? If yes, share a screenshot of the error. It would help to resolve your error.

Actually we prefer the poster to use the output tags rather than a screenshot. But yes, posting the error definitely helps
