Answer 1

You have to also call the function as:
secure(input())

Answer 2

That worked thank you !

Answer 3

def secure(str):
guard = "G"
theif = "T"
cash = "quot;
currentCombo = ''"
alarm = False
for chars in str:
if chars != "x":
currentCombo += chars

positions = [
currentCombo.find(cash),
currentCombo.find(theif)
]

if ((positions[0] - positions[1]) == 1):
alarm = True
elif ((positions[1] - positions[0]) == 1):
alarm = True

if alarm == True:
print("ALARM")
else:
print("quiet")

Answer 4

Example : secure("xxxGxx$xxxT") Should return Alarm becuase there is no G between $ and T. G=GUARD $=CASH T=THEIF
