Courses Plus Student 390 PointsHow to make a Variable
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.
could you give me a example?
Variable = "Name"
'Name = "Ricky"'

The first part of the quiz is to make a variable and name the variable "name". Then assign your name to the variable. We do this like so:
name = "Richard"
Let me know if you have any more questions!

name = "Richard"
"name" being the variable name. Your name being the thing inside of the variable. Its a string because in this case its a word not a number or Boolean.
Hope this help.
