231,124 PointsThe (first) "return" line ends the function. All the code after it that is indented will be ignored.
But even without the indentation, the next line only does part of what the instructions ask. They say "Call the hello_student() function and save the return value to a variable called hello.". The function is being called, but the output isn't being saved.
And the final line is not proper syntax and isn't needed anyway.
