I am having trouble regarding the Type Error. The function and variable names are not equal but its still giving me a Type Error.



def space():
spaces=' '
sp=print(spaces,end=' ')
return(sp)

def inc_num():
incr_num=print(num,end=' ')
return(incr_num)

def dec_num():
decr_num=print(k,end=' ')
k=k-1
return(decr_num)

def forward_pyramid():
no_of_rows=int(input("Enter the number of rows for the pyramid:"))
for row in range(1,no_of_rows):
for space in range(1,no_of_rows-row):
s=space()
return(s)
for num in range(1,row,1):
n=inc_num()
return(n)
for k in range(row,0,-1):
m=dec_num()
return(m)

forward_pyramid()


this is the error

You have declared a variable and function with the same name (space). On that line, space is an int.



Change line 16:



    for space in range(1,no_of_rows-row):


To something else:



    for sp in range(1,no_of_rows-row):


And your error goes away.
