Hi Lani,

I'm not sure I completely understand your question but you do not need to write Hello below the print("Hello").

By writing print("Hello") you are telling Python to print the word Hello, which it will do. You don't need to write it yourself in the next line. Let me know if this helps!

Hi Lani.

There are corrections you have to do to pass the challange.

Here is how it should look like :

print("Hello")
print("name")

print("Let's do some math!")
print(str(5) + "a")

print("Thanks for playing along!")
          ```

So the challenge does say to not delete lines of code.

The script below has some errors in it. I know you might still be a little uncomfortable with code but I'm sure you can fix the mistakes. They're all ones we've talked about. You might need to fix some quote marks or make a new variable or two. Don't delete any lines of code, though.

Your hints in the above challenge description were: quote marks, make a new variable, and dont delete lines of code. 

print("Hello")
print(name) #print a variable that doesnt exist?? Make it exist ;)

print("Let's do some math!")
print(5 + "a") # Is it possible to add Integer of 5 to a String of "a"?? Or how can we make this one data type?

print("Thanks for playing along!') # Hiding in plain sight, also causing syntax highlighting for comments to break here.
