Am I the only one that isn't getting this correct? I need to create a variable called name and the input is my name.
I did:
name = input("What's your name?") input =="Brett"

Task 1 only wants you to create a name variable and assign your name to it.
name = "Brett"

3,895 PointsThanks guys I guess I was overthinking it. I appreciate the fast feedback.

3,895 PointsOk hopefully this wont be for each question but it seems I am stuck again.
How does: print ("Tree" + "house") not give treehouse like the example? I used lowercase tree and that didn't work either. In the example it has the word Tree uppercase, not sure if that makes a difference.

Courses Plus Student 94,596 PointsYou want to do something similar to the first task. It's not asking you to print the string but to assign it to a variable.
name = "Jason"
treehouse = "Tree" + "house"
