function not working

def most_murderous(year):     # Assign most to a table of the most murderous states this year in ascending order.     data_for_year = murder_rates('Year', are.equal_to(year))     sorted_data = data_for_year.sort('Murder Rate', descending=True)     top_5 = sorted_data.take(np.arange(0,5))     top_5.barh('State', 'Murder Rate')     return top_5.column('State')   most_murderous(1990) # California, Mississippi, ...,

I get an error saying

What is wrong here?

It seems:

data_for_year = murder_rates('Year', are.equal_to(year))

is wrong but I can't figure out what is wrong with it.

nevermind. I see that I'm missing a .where

Please re-post error traceback, complete and unaltered. You have eliminated some very important information.

Hi Larz,

I saw where I was making a mistake. I needed murder_rates.where('Year, are.equal_to(year))
