Hi. I keep getting this error message from the autograder for the final assignment of the course:

Error: Cell #UNQ_C1. Can’t compile the student’s code. Error: NameError(“name ‘Alpha’ is not defined”)

My code in the block runs well and passes the in-notebook test.
This error keeps occurring no matter how many times i reboot and re-run the notebook. Any ideas?

Yes try to replace Alpha with a real number value and lets see what happens!

Does your code pass all of the tests in the notebook?
Did you modify your notebook to include an Alpha variable?

Note that the grader doesn’t use any global variables you may have added - it only looks at the functions that are marked for grading.

Tips:

  • Do not rely on global variables.
  • Do not make unexpected changes to the notebook.

Yes that worked thanks.
