rescue Errno::ENOENT
  return nil
end

Hi there, Muhammad sharifi ! You're terribly close. But just like any other string concatenation you're going to need to use a + sign between the "Hello" and the name parameter.

I think you can get it with this hint, but let me know if you're still stuck! :sparkles:
