How do I create a variable named "name" with your name in it?

I'm doing the Objective 1 of 3 in the Ins & Outs section and it's asking me to creat a variable named name with your name in it. Can somebody help?

I'm learning here, Shez Azr and unless you aren't going to help me understand this, please don't reply. Thanks for understanding that a good teacher understands that no question is a dumb question, but I am looking forward to you teaching me how to do it. Thanks, dude!

name = 'Augusto'

Your name in python is a string (string of letters) so your named needs to be enclosed with ' '
