• Sami Kuhmonen: You can see how your code looks like while posting. Please take a look at it while posting and format your code appropriately. I have fixed it for you, but do make sure next time you format it properly.
• R Nar: are you using python 3? because you need brackets around your print parameters
• R Nar: also, your docstring lies, it prints Eggs! not eggs!
• OkamiBushi: thanks i am new and im just exploring it is my first post so "yeah"

Answer 1

You must be using python 3, since it requires parentheses with a print statement. Try to do:

print("Eggs!")

Instead of:

print "Eggs!"

Notice how your first function has parenthesis:

print(egg)

That's why it works.
