My python code is not executing a function (program) I coded

Question

I created a program that asks a bunch of input questions and prints out the following line, for example, Marc Gibbons is a 103 year old male. He was born in Ottawa and his SIN # is 1234567890.

But when I keep getting an error.

from datetime import datetime

def main():
name = input('Please enter your name:')

sex = input('Please enter your sex, Male (M) or Female (F) or Non-Binanry(N):')

birthday = input ('Enter your date of birth in YYYY-mm-dd format:')

birthday1 = datetime.strptime(birthday, '%Y-%m-%d')
age =  ((datetime.today() - birthday1).days/365)

place = input('What City were you born in:')

    try:
        sin = int(input('What is your sin number:'))
    except ValueError:
        print('Error:Please enter a number')

print(f'{name} is a {age} years old {sex}. He was born in {place} and her SIN # is {sin}')

# Do not edit below
if __name__ == '__main__': main()

Maybe you want the print statement indented in the main() function? — Mark

just make sure that print(f'{name} is a {age} years old {sex}. He was born in {place} and her SIN # is {sin}') indented right inside the function

How do I incorporate he/she in my sentence based on the answer provided by the input, female or male?

you can add pronoun = 'he' if sex=='m' else 'she' and edit print(f'{name} is a {age} years old {sex}. {pronoun} was born in {place} and her SIN # is {sin}')

move the print state into the function. The current indentation means main() (containing your name var) is not in the same scope as the print function:

from datetime import datetime

def main():
    name = input('Please enter your name:')

    sex = input('Please enter your sex, Male (M) or Female (F) or Non-Binanry(N):')

    birthday = input ('Enter your date of birth in YYYY-mm-dd format:')

    birthday1 = datetime.strptime(birthday, '%Y-%m-%d')
    age =  ((datetime.today() - birthday1).days/365)

    place = input('What City were you born in:')

    try:
        sin = int(input('What is your sin number:'))
    except ValueError:
        print('Error:Please enter a number')

    # Indent here to inside the function
    print(f'{name} is a {age} years old {sex}. He was born in {place} and her SIN # is {sin}')

Hope it helps
