The task: Write a function called hello_student. This function should receive one argument, name. This function should return one value, the string 'Hello ' followed by the value of the name parameter.
def hello_student(name):
value = name
return value
name = input
print('Hello ', hello_student(name))

216,083 PointsHere's a few hints:
- the code the joins "Hello " with the name should be inside the function
- for the challenge you only need to define the function, you don' t need to use it
- the function should return the combined string
- you won't need to "print" anything
- you also won't need to "input" anything
