main()The problem is that when it is run, I get syntax and indentation errors from Python IDLE. Also the second code may look terrible (and I believe it is), but that is how python decided to indent it. The top code is fine and doesn't need work, the second code is where I am stumped. I need it to work without and functions, classes or methods like the first. Unless methods have to be used.
