Hi community,

I’m new to python programming and my code has no errors but it will not run, please help.

import csv


def  read_sales():
 data=[]
 with open('sales.csv','r') as sales_csv:
    spreadsheet = csv.DictReader(sales_csv)
    for row in spreadsheet:
      data.append(row)
      
 return data
    
def run():
 data =read_sales()
 sales=[]
 for row in data:
  sales = int(row['sales']) 
 total_sales=sum(sales)
 print(f"Total sales:{total_sales}")

Hey @JoyceNhlengetwa, welcome to the community!

To call a function, you must put the parentheses after the function name like so:

run()

If this post solved your problem, please mark it as the solution so the thread can close.

As @QwertyQwerty88 mentioned above, simply append the line:

run()

to the bottom of the code. Your code should now be:

import csv


def  read_sales():
  data=[]
  with open('sales.csv','r') as sales_csv:
     spreadsheet = csv.DictReader(sales_csv)
     for row in spreadsheet:
       data.append(row)
      
  return data
    
def run():
  data =read_sales()
  sales=[]
  for row in data:
    sales = int(row['sales']) 
  total_sales=sum(sales)
  print(f"Total sales:{total_sales}")

run()
