it seems like you have problems understanding the concepts of "global and local variables" and "functions with return values".

1 - you are accessing the variable w in the global scope (i.e. Outside of any function). But you declared w to be local to the function "getweight". Outside of this function you neither declare nor define it, so it is undefined.
2 - you define a function getweight, but you never call it
3 - you define and call the function getvolume, but you don't assign the return value to any variable in your global scope. So the result (return value) is lost

can you work with this or do you need additional assistance?

thank you so much for your help and i think i will be needing a little more assistance with this as i see you slow walking me to an epiphany but need a more direct route there lol, and again thank you
