Having some trouble with my program
I am not sure if the problem is microbit or python itself.
It is a Morse Code translator and the error is most likely on Line 40

Directly embedding snippet:
# Add your Python code here. E.g.

So you suspected the problem was around Line 40:
if button_b.get_presses() > b_presses and button_a.get_presses == a_presses and contin == True:
your problem is painfully simple yet easily overlooked, Let's break this statement up:
button_b.get_presses() > b_presses
button_a.get_presses == a_presses
contin == True
At this point i'm sure you see your mistake, you've forgotten the parentesis (()) after button_a.get_presses mean that instead of comparing the result of get_presses to a_presses you are infact comparing the function itself.
So the corrected statement is:
if button_b.get_presses() > b_presses and button_a.get_presses() == a_presses and contin:
This time there is a different error ): I added a section4 and if the input for 'section3' is 'A' then section3 will replay itself
