Hello Saba, and welcome,

Saba, unfortunately your email is almost unreadable to me. To me, your 
code looks like this:

A complete mess! Unfortunately, I have neither the time nor the 
inclination to spend a lot of effort trying to unmangle the code to see 
what you intended it to be.

As a programmer, you will often be dealing with text formats, and with 
text it is very important that your email program (Outlook, it seems) 
doesn't mess up the layout. Especially with Python. Unfortunately, 
if your email program is configured to send so-called "Rich Text" 
(actually HTML, exactly the same format that web pages use) a 
side-effect is that it may mess up the layout as above.

I recommend that, when posting to technical forums like this tutor 
mailing list, you turn off "Rich Text" posting so we can see the code 
the way it is meant to be seen. If you help us to see your code the way 
it should be seen, we can help you with your code.

Regards,
