I can not figure out what exactly they are asking for. To fix the (5 + a) I would only have to assign a variable to "a" but that does not work.
print("Hello")
a = name
print(name)
print("Let's do some math!")
print(5 + "a")
print("Thanks for playing along!')

2,037 PointsHi Abraham, You didn't fix some of the issues, and have one mistake in your code:
1
Here you have a mistake
a = name
print(name)
'name' variable is not defined, so 'a = name' is not fixing a problem. There are two solutions:
Option 1. Add quotes before and after name, so it will be string, but not a variable
print("name")
Option 2. Or you can define the variable name:
name = "Abraham"
print(name)
2
this mistake is not fixed in your code:
print(5 + "a")
you cannot add different types to each other (integer '5' and string 'a'). So here also are two possible solutions:
Option 1. Add quotes for '5', so it will become string, not integer:
print("5" + "a")
Option 2. Define 'a' as integer variable and remove quotes for it:
a = 10
print(5 + a)
3
this mistake is also not fixed in your code
print("Thanks for playing along!')
string should begin and finish with the same type of quotes. And here you also have two options:
Option 1. Change quotes to following:
print("Thanks for playing along!")
Option 2. Or change quotes to following:
print('Thanks for playing along!')
