Applying a Lambda to a Row exercise

Hi fellow students,

I don’t know why I’m getting an error: invalid syntax. Comparing mine to the solution, it seems like the perpetrator is highly related to ‘’. I tried to be be compliant on line breakers. is this the reason?

script.py

import codecademylib
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv('employees.csv')

print(df.head(2))

total_earned = lambda row:
row.hourly_wage * row.hours_worked if row.hours_worked <= 40
else (row.hourly_wage*40)+((row.hourly_wage*1.5)*(40-row.hours_worked)

If you’re giving your anonymous function a name and spreading it out over multiple lines then I’m really starting to wonder why you’d want to use a lambda expression over a def statement

Writing an expression over multiple lines can be done by surrounding it in parentheses

Thank you so much for your advice, ionatan!

I feel like I learned more from you than the online lessons!
