When you want to call a function you don't use the = operator. You just type the name of the function and then a pair of parenthesis. Then type in the data you want to send to the function within the parenthesis.

Also Python is case-sensitive, meaning that Print and print are not considered to be the same word. So you have to make sure to type the function name in lower case.

Like this:

print("Hello, Treehouse")
