I don't know python but is that because of you are trying access the function before it is defined, if Python works that way.

Python works fine in that way sir

Solution 1

Line 1 is incorrect, only comments can exist at that level. Documentation comments must be inside a block.

Much of the remaining indentation is wrong; fix that and the program will run.

Python

# Fixed intendations

def quiz(qs):
    score = 0
    for q,a in qs.items():
        if input(q).lower()==a.lower():
            score+=1
            print('true')
    return score
 
 
def main():
    # The questions and answers are in this dictionary.
    qs = {"What's the capital of England? ":"London",
        "What's the third planet in the Solar System? ":"Earth",
        "Who wrote \"Great Expectations\"? ": "Charles Dickens",
        "Who sang \"Someone Like You\"? ":"Adele",
        "Who is the current Doctor Who? ":"Peter Capaldi",
        "Who is the sheriff in \"The Walking Dead\"? ": "Rick Grimes",
        "Which metal is liquid at room temperature? ": "Mercury",
        "Who plays Katniss in \"The Hunger Games\"? ": "Jennifer Lawrence",
        "Which element combines with hydrogen to make water? ": "Oxygen",
        "What is the highest mountain in the UK? ": "Ben Nevis"}
         
    print("*** Quiz ***\n")
    name = input("Please enter your name: ")
    print()
    print("\nWell done {0}, you scored {1} out of {2}).".format(name, quiz(qs), len(qs)))
         

 
if __name__ == "__main__":
	main()

And finally, I ran the program it works and it asked me several questions I gave the correct answers for only 4 questions london,mercury,earth and oxygen but you program said "Well done" where I actually failed in the in test you should fix it too.
