What am I doing wring?

Question

Im working on functions for python. Here is the question

==Imagine you need to calculate the shipping cost for customer orders based on the weight of the packages.

The cost per kilogram is $5.

Task
Complete the shipping_cost() function to take the weight as an argument, calculate the shipping cost based on the weight, and display it in the given format.
The function call is already done.==

Here's what I got.

#taking the weight as input
weight = int(input())

#complete the function
def shipping_cost(weight):
shipping_cost = weight * 5

#function call
shipping_cost(weight)

Whst am I doing wrong/missing?

Answer 1

Joshua Jones you can not define your function then try to create a variable with the same name

shipping_cost is the function and don't forget to return weight * 5

def shipping_cost(weight):
return weight * 5

weight = int(input())
print(shipping_cost(weight))
