It looks like you have a few syntax issues and some functionality yet to add:

  • the "def" line should end with a colon (:)
  • any line that is part of the function should be indented more than the "def" line
  • "var" is not a Python keyword
  • the function needs to combine the name with the literal string "Hello "
  • the function needs to return the combined string result
