Can anyone help me understand the problem with this code?

I am using VS studios, using python. When I try to create a function, I constantly keep getting a syntax error. I am not sure why?

 def sayhi():
    print("Hello User")

sayhi()

do it in jupyter notebook on Visual Studio and you won't have any problems. Just make sure you're on the python interpreter

Your function should have correct indentation like so:

def sayhi():
    print('Hello User')

sayhi()

Otherwise python will throw a fit as indentation is very important to python and its functions, classes, etc.

The issue in your code is the space before def sayhi(): which is going to throw an IndentationError without a doubt, remove that space and you should be much better off
