Hey! I know we haven't written any code yet, but you've already seen what a variable looks like, so I want you to try and make one. Make a variable named name. Then, assign it to your own name. Your name should be a string, so you need to put quote marks around it.

variable.py 
 name  =  "bablu"

Your code is correct, I think the problem is that you put two whitespaces. Other than that, your code is correct, I tried it myself. copy and paste the code below

name = 'bablu'

Hope this helps, Happy coding!
