Have you looked at that line? Is that what you intended to write with input? What is your intention here, might be worth a view of How to ask good questions (and get good answers)

Yes that is what i intended to write with input. It worked for over a month but now it gets a typeError at line 17

I’m not sure there was any version of Python where that would work. The error is there for a reason, you’re doing something that can’t be done, you cannot use input like that; it’s intended to be used as a callable, e.g. input() or input("prompt text").

What is foodOptions supposed to be here, what is your intention?

foodOptions is a list. Thank you, ive found my error, you were correct. i must of added that input without realising at some point
