could you post your code with a screenshot or something?

Thanks buddy, have found a way around it. It had to do with indentation. However,kindly assist with this question: Write a program that examines three variables-x,y, and z- and prints the largest odd number among them. If none of them are odd, it should print a message to that effect.

you can use the modulo operator % to test for even/odd. You can then use a combination of conditional statements that resemble the following pseudocode
//initiate variable for largest even number so far (I'll call it "big") to None
//if x is even, store its value in big
//else if y is even and greater than big
    //update big to store y
//else if z is even and greater than big
    //update big to store z
//return big
