_{Project 1 — Step 10 of 16}

⭐ Step 10 — Roll dice

➡️ Make a function called roll_dice() and call it.

For now the dice will always show 4 — we’ll make it random in a few steps.

✏️ What to type

1. Under # Function definitions, add:

def roll_dice():
    print(f'You rolled a {4}')

The print line needs to be pushed in by 4 spaces so Python knows it belongs to the function. Press Tab at the start of the line to add the spaces.

2. At the very bottom, after the date line, add a line that calls the function:

roll_dice()

# imports
from datetime import datetime

# variables
world = '🌍🌎🌏'
python = 'Python 🐍'
fire = '🔥'

# Function definitions

# Put code to run under here
print(f'Hello {world}')
print(f'Welcome to {python}')
print(f'{python} is good at maths!')
print(f'{111111111 * 111111111}')
print(f'The date and time is {datetime.now()}')

Tap ▶ Run. The last line should now say:

You rolled a 4

🔍 Tip

Tab at the start of a line types 4 spaces for you. Shift + Tab removes them.

💡 If you get a red error

Check the def line ends with (): and that the print line is pushed in by 4 spaces.
