Hey Elshaarawi! First I would reset the challenge to restore to the default values. Let's break this down line by line.

print("Hello")

There is nothing wrong with this line so leave it as is.

print(name)

This would raise an exception(error) because name is not defined. You can either turn it into a string by surrounding it with quotes, or you can define name on a line previous to the print statement

# option 1
name = 'nicole'
print(name)

#option2
print('name')

next line

print("Let's do some math!")
print(5 + "a")

There are no errors in the first line, however in the second line you cannot add and integer with a string, so you should convert 5 to a string.

print('5'+ 'a')

And finally, the use of double and single quotes is problematic in Python. You may define a single string with one or the other but not both.

print("Thanks for playing along!')

#option1
print("Thanks for playing along!")

#option2
print('Thanks for playing along!')
