May somebody please elaborate on this question?

I've tried many things to solve this problem but I keep coming back to an error

creating_functions.py 
def hello_student(name):
    val = name
    return val
print(val('Hello'))

In Christian's return string (which is the way to go) the only adjustment needs to be a space after the o in Hello, like this: "Hello "
