Current Problem at the moment

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ex26.py", line 66, in <module>
    beans, jars, crates = secret_formula(start-point)
NameError: name 'start' is not defined

anyone know how to make start defined

"start-point" is not a valid identifier as the "-" isn't permitted
in a variable name.  This is the case for just about every language
out there.  HTML/XML & CSS are the only languages that come to my
mind in which the dash is considered a valid part of an identifier.

I believe that Cobol allows "-"  in names.

Lisp certainly does.
