You didn't show us the original code so the error might be something
beyond the parameter types.

Without seeing the code we can't tell what the original "result"
might have been.

Given the subject line I feel bound to point out that for reuse
your function should not print() the result but return it as
a string. This will make your function reusable in other
contexts such as a web page or GUI application. The current
version only works in a command line environment.

That change would then require you to print() the result
of the function in the main body of your code.
