This is my whole program I'm working on (with the function not in the right place due to the code needing to be indented) but anyway there is a problem that I'm not sure how to fix.

How do I change it so that this would work along with my program? It says that it is in a string but am not sure how to change this so it calculates the variables from the rest of my program. I am sorry seeming how this is not the only problem I am new to this and am just getting used to how this works.

From the comment thread on the original question, the issue is that skill1 and skill2 are strings, which do not support the - operand. You need to cast them to ints before you perform any mathematical operation on them:

def difference1(skill1,skill2):try:s1 = int(skill1)s2 = int(skill2)except exceptions.ValueError:print("Could not cast to int")return Noneif s1 >= s2:result0 = s1-s2result1=result0/5elif s1==s2:print("There Will Be No Skill Modifier")result1 = 0else:result0=s2-s1result1=result0/5return result1

Depending on what you pass into difference1, you may not be left with an integer. If skill1 and skill2 could be parsed as floats, you'll hit an exception when you try to cast them to ints. If you know this will never be the case, you can remove the try-except block.
