Accepted answer
You didn't read this->However you also forgot to close a parenthesis there.

I was too focused on correcting the if statement that I forgot to even go through the code all over again

Python programmers hate unindented code or unmatching parentheses

Yeah thanks @Rajanikant I literally had to count the parentheses all again

Then why do you use def when calling the function.
Raghavendra5y ago
The function name with brackets Like function()
Rajanikant Hawaldar5y ago
How will you call a function?
Raghavendra5y ago
I don't need to declear it to call it again
Rajanikant Hawaldar5y ago
+1, exactly....ONLY to declare a function. And how will you call a declared function then? However you also forgot to close a parenthesis there.

Please use Syntax Highlighter Code to post code.

What do you think def is used for?
Raghavendra5y ago
def positive(): cuberoot = (num ** (1/3)) print(int(cuberoot)) def negative(): cuberoot = (-(-num) **(1/3)) print(int(cuberoot)) num = int(input('\n: ' ) if num>0: positive() elif num<0: negative() else: print('Enter a Valid number')
