I'm not sure why this is wrong...?

I thought the task was to have the string returned being 'Hello Ashley', and it showed that in the preview, but it still won't let me pass.

creating_functions.py
def hello_student(name):
    print('Hello' + ' ' + name)
hello_student('Ashley')

Hi Aiden Li

While your syntax is correct and will execute, it is not what the instructions asked for. In the instructions, it is stated that This function should return one value, but you are printing. Just fix that up and the task will pass

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:
