The computer is not psychic yet, so it doesn't know that when you wrote pa_r_lindrome you meant palindrome, you have to spell it the same way every time for the computer to recognise that you mean the same name. Now you also know that the error message: "NameError: name '<something>' is not defined" means that you might have spelled <something> differently on the line in the error message to the word you meant, so next time you see this error message you know to carefully check the spellings of function names and variables. -- Denis McMahon, denismfmcma...@gmail.com -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
