The def line should finish with a colon.  How do you expect to call this 
function for "Mark Lawrence", 1?  Research something like:- python 
functions parameters arguments.

All four of your lines above should be indented, or have they been lost 
by your email client?  You simply assign to Student and StudentN which 
you then print.  Look closely at this, look back to my earlier comment, 
add them and hopefully the answer is 4 :)  Incidentally you'd usually 
spell them student and studentN.

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
