Challenge task

Challenge Task 1 of 1

Simple one this time. Make a variable named age that is assigned to an input() call. Give your input() a prompt of "What is your age?". You might need to add a space in there, though.

My answer was:

age = input('What\'s your age?\n')

I also tried age = input('''What's your age? ''')

age=input("What's your age? ")

None of the above are working

It either says

Bummer! Add trailing spaces or Bumer! Your propmt is incorrecct

age.py 
age=input('''What's your age?''')

I am sorry guys. I just realized I was typing "What's your age?" instead of "What is your age?". Thank you for your time.
