It's hard to tell what could be wrong without seeing how it's indented. Use the instructions for code formatting in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below the "Add an Answer" area. :arrow_heading_down:   Or watch this video on code formatting.

Hi Walter, what is the error that you're receiving? This works for me.

student_name = input("What is your name?  ")
print("hi", student_name)
if student_name == "Walter":
    print("I hope that you can interact with your fellows")

Also Steven, thanks for showing me how to add my code via the Markdown Cheatsheet. Is there a way to include the console's output?

You can include the console output in the code section, or I often like to use the Markdown blockquote syntax for it (>).
