Python Development Techdegree Student 197 PointsI noticed Craig changed "Ada" to 11. Is it that we don't need quotes for numbers?
first_name = "Ada" vs first_name = 11

”Ada” is a string and 11 is an int (an integer). Integers are different than a string of numbers such as ”11”. The int object can be directly used in math calculations, but the individual digits of the number are not readily available.
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
