266 PointsI don't seem to understand where exactly is the SyntaxError
I introduced a name before calling in the "print" command, tried to fix in the errors by changing the string to a variable, and changed the quote at the end of the last statement.
print("Hello")
print(name)
name='Vijayashree'
print(name)
print("Let's do some math!")
print(5 + "a")
print("5"+"5")
print("Thanks for playing along!')
print("Thanks for playing along!")

print(name)
name='Vijayashree'
print(name)
should look like this
print(name)
name='Vijayashree'
print(name)
another thing is that you're trying use the variable name, on line 2 in the print(name), before having declared it on line 3.
You're indenting the print("5"+"5") again, which doesn't work. Indentation matters in Python :)
and finally in the second last print statement, you have mixed " and ´ if you open a string with a quatotion mark (") it needs to end with a quotation mark as well :) You can't open with a (") and close it with a (´)

should be changed to:
```print("name")```
