2,775 PointsHi guys. I need help with this.
I don't know what to do here. Watched videos a couple times over, but still can't seem to understand what I'm doing wrong. Please help.
def hello_student(name):
name = input("Name")
return name
print(hello_student('Hello '(name)))

- the function should use the passed argument, you won't need to "input" anything
- the string should be combined inside the function
- the combined string is what the function should return

2,775 PointsThanks. Managed to figure it out. def hello_student(name): val =("Hello ") + name return val
hello_student("John")

231,060 PointsGood deal! But while they don't hurt, you don't need parentheses around a string.
