The variable it's self needs to be called age - which will have your age in, not the word.

Hi,

The code should be something like:

age = 30 #or what is your age

Yeah you want to take a said word and store a number to that word. Like x = 11. So in math 1 + x = 12. In this case your variable would be age, and you want to put your age in that variable. So age = 21 or what ever your age is.
