you cant edit your post or i just cant find it

Write "CODE=python" enclosed in square brackets then paste your code from your editor and end it with "/CODE" also in square brackets.
Note, all are without Quotes

Here we go:

def main():
    books = getBooks
    points = getPoints
    printPoints

def getBooks():
    books = input("enter the books purchased")
    return books

def getPoints(books):
    if books <= 0:
        points = 0
    elif books <= 1:
        points = 5
    elif books <= 2:
        points = 15
    elif books <= 3:
        points = 30
    elif books <= 4:
        points =60
    return points

def printPoints(books,points):
    print ("you bought ,books, you now have ,points,")


main()

Okay here is a version with a lot of things fixed:

def main():
    books = getBooks()  #Remember those () otherwise the functions are not called
    points = getPoints(books) #again
    printPoints(books, points)

def getBooks():
    books = input("enter the books purchased")
    return books

def getPoints(books):
    if books <= 0:
        points = 0
    elif books <= 1:
        points = 5
    elif books <= 2:
        points = 15
    elif books <= 3:
        points = 30
    elif books <= 4:
        points =60
    return points

def printPoints(books,points):
    print ("you bought" ,books, "you now have ",points) #Remeber to split up the string


main()
