#working code
import random
def D4(x):
for d4 in range(x):
d4 = (random.randint)(1,4)
print(d4)
#eg
D4(10)#################################################my best attempt
import random
def D4(x):
rolls = 0
for d4 in range(x):
d4 = (random.randint)(1,4)
rolls = rolls + d4
return rolls
def dicetotals(x):
print(D4(x))

import random
def D4(x):
rolls = 0
for d4 in range(x):
d4 = (random.randint)(1,5)
rolls += d4
return rolls
dicetotals = D4(4)
print(dicetotals)

You had an indentation problem. And stop wrapping things in parenthesis that don't need parenthesis.
import random
def D4(count):
total = 0
for _ in range(count):
total += random.randint(1,4)
return total
print(D4(2))You could make a generic die roller that works for any sided dice. This one returns the total and the individual die. If you call it without any arguments it rolls a single six sided die.import random
def roll(sides=6, count=1):
die = random.choices(range(1, sides+1), k=count)
return sum(die), die
print(*roll(4, 2))
