[Tutor] Need help with function coding.

[akuma ukpo]

I am defining the function in one .py file and testing the function in
another .py file.

this is my code for the test:

    def test_quantity_convert(self):
        self.assertEqual(gallons_to_cups(0), 16)
        self.assertEqual(gallons_to_cups(100), 1600)

this is my code for the defined function:

def gallons_to_cups(quant):
    """
    Takes quantity 'quant' in Gallons and computes and
    returns the equivalent Cup quantity
    """
    return 16 * quant + 0


what am i doing wrong?
