I can't seem to complete the Challenge Task 1 of writing in Python

With many attempts, I'm not correctly answering the Challenge Task 1

print(" ")"Hello YOUR NAME"
print("Hello YOUR NAME")
print(" ") ("Hello YOUR NAME")

Hello Paul,

the challenge is asking you to complete the string WITHIN the print(" ") task. Thus, you should place "Hello Paul" inside of the brackets/quotations provided in the challenge. 

print("Hello Paul")

Also, if you are trying to complete the code challenge using the three lines of code you provided, that may be why it's flagging an error. The second line of code you provided, | print("Hello YOUR NAME") |, should be enough to complete the challenge; however, the interpreter will try to run all three lines provided, which will cause an error due to the incorrect syntax in the first and third line.
