defining conditions

i've been stuck on this problem for over an hour, the videos and guides dont ever go injto detail about establishing conditions so that certains values can be set to logically make sense to the system, so that (5 + "a") has a set value instead of being a jumbled mess, am i missing a video somewhere? pls help :)

errors.py 
print("Hello")
print("name")
print("Let's do some math!")
print(5 + "a")
print("Thanks for playing along!")

Hi Jordan,

This challenge is a bit of a weird one. Basically you have to create two variables (name and a) and assign it to anything you like to make the print methods work. Here is the code is used to pass this challenge:

print("Hello")

name = "Tom"

print(name)

print("Let's do some math!")

a = 7

print(5 + a)

print("Thanks for playing along!")

Hope this helps! Happy Coding!!!
