D'lite Easy yes, but not good style. Rather use better describing variable names or extend them a bit. Like costume_print, myPrint, etc. Otherwise it's a likely error source, especially when it comes to multiple programmers or revisiting an old code

In general, don't use keywords as variables. Like print, class, etc...

chandrapal singh Easiest way to use reserved words is to change their case. example : if -> IF print --> Print https://code.sololearn.com/cdeElXd6S23S/?ref=app

I think in this case, your only solution is to use "namespaces" concept to be able to preserve your variable name.

D'lite , chandrapal seems to have changed the case already (the heading and the description are a little contradictory). The problem may also lie elsewhere. chandrapal singh , would you mind sharing your code so we can take a closer look? Thanks!
