Hello, I think i have a problem, when i was updating the .bash_profile i got an error:

This were the steps (showed in the video) that i followed 

mkdir intro-to-numpy
cd intro-to-numpy/
intro-to-numpy ux-contaazul$ conda create -n 100days numpy jupyter
Solving environment: done
intro-to-numpy ux-contaazul$ conda activate 100days
/anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh" >> ~/.bash_profile

One probable issue is that the .bash_profile file was created under the ownership of root or some other user. Try this..

sudo bash

Before the other commands. A long term solution would be to change the ownership of the .bash_profile file. This can be done through the GUI or try

sudo do chown _your_username ~/.bash_profile

Happy coding
