Why isn't my code working

I am confused. I am pretty sure, that the code is right, I don't understand why it isn't working. What I am trying to do is create a star that is filled in. Can someone help me find my mistake?

you made a function called mystar, but you didnt call it.

just do mystar(size, filled) and i think you have to replace size with a number and filled with a color i think.

hope this helps! =)

Didn't I already do that? def mystar(size,filled), it's on line 4

no you defined the function.
now you have to call it, like execute it/

wait so like this, but when I run it, it's not working, its says bad input on line 5, what am I doing wrong?:


 
t = turtle.Turtle()
def mystar(size, filled):
  mystar(size,filled):
  if filled == True:
    t.begin_fill()
  for x in range(1, 19):
    t.forward(size)
  if x % 2 == 0:
    t.left(175)
  else:
    t.left(225)
  if filled == True:
    t.end_fill()

no, put def mystar(size, filled) afterwards, out of the function loop. like the last line, but not indented.

then you replace size with a number and filled with a color i think

Ok so like this, but it is still not working.


 
t = turtle.Turtle()
def mystar(size, filled):
  if filled == True:
    t.begin_fill()
  for x in range(1, 19):
    t.forward(20)
  if x % 2 == 0:
    t.left(175)
  else:
    t.left(225)
  if filled == True:
    t.end_fill()
mystar(size,filled):
mystar(20,'yellow')

no take the ```at the end off.
also delete the second to last line (mystar(size,filled)

Ok so like this, it still isn't working, it is like a line...


def mystar(size, filled):
  if filled == True:
    t.begin_fill()
  for x in range(1, 19):
    t.forward(20)
  if x % 2 == 0:
    t.left(175)
  else:
    t.left(225)
  if filled == True:
    t.end_fill()


mystar(20, 'green')

put quotation marks around yellow
