Hi Alicja,

You're pretty close. The question in the exercise says the method get_name has already been created somewhere else. The teacher isn't showing the method but we know it exists. So you won't need the def get_name here.

Also, we don't need to specify value for the get_name method. You can truncate that piece of the code and simplify it.

So the only part you have to add should look something like this:

contact['name'] = get_name

Cheers!
