import re
string = 'Perotto, Pier Giorgio'
# Create variable names with re.match()
names_pattern = r'(\w+), (\w+)'
names_match = re.match(names_pattern, string)
names = names_match.groups() if names_match else None
# Example usage:
print("Names:", names)

Also, the result from the re.match itself should be assigned to "names". The challenge is expecting to be able to use .groups() on it while checking the solution.
