Thank you very much but somehow I put exact value as you did and it gave me a syntax error very strange. But again thanks for the help

if you left your previous answer then yes, I would assume you'd get a syntax error. but if you removed your second line of code and added a semi-colon at the end of your variable "myName" you should pass task one.
