getting error : contours is not defined for my hand-web-browser project

I am trying to build a project "hand_web_browser", the primary objective of this project is to open web pages using hand-gestures. But, I am getting an error at line 55 which says

cnt = max(contours, key=lambda x: cv2.contourArea(x))

NameError: name ‘contours’ is not defined

If anyone could help me with the issue???
