Hi!

Can you send me your code in a direct message and I’ll take a look.

HI
have sent the code

Got same error for db dtype into float 64, i solved it by using ‘nanmean’. test passed.

@chiragnaik7000 I think it is simply indentation problem.

Check your identation starting from the ‘for loop’ till the return function.
Cheers!

Thanks Kingsley! I had this problem too, and spent hours trying to figure out what the problem was, and when I fixed the indentation, viola! the problem went away. I think that Dr. Ng is doing a fantastic job with this course. One item that would be useful to hear a little about is how jupyter notebooks and the code within requires indentation to be ‘correct’. Before I saw your note, I had no idea that incorrect indentation would cause problems in code, and it wasn’t covered (at least I don’t remember it being covered) in any of Dr. Ng’s material to this point.
