Calling function with input

Question

Hi all,

Can someone please help me out why the following code doesn't work? I expected to be able to enter Yes or No and having the proper reaction as a result...

Thanks in advance.

def shut_down(s):
if s.lower() == "yes":
print ("Shutting down...")
elif s.lower() == "no":
print ("Shutdown aborted!")
else:
print ("Sorry, I didn't understand you.")
s=input("Shutdown? Yes or No")
shut_down

Answer 1

Thanks Adriano for your quick reply!. That is it! Thanks for helping out.

Answer 2

The last line ought to be shut_down(s) in order to work. You forgot to present the paremeter to the function. I guess that is all.
