My code says "name is not defined", what could be the problem?
def hello_student(name):
name = input('Enter your name:')
return name
print('Hello', hello_student(name))
hello_student(name)

In this challenge two rows are actually needed to complete it. Let's read the instructions line by line.
1) Write a function called hello_student
def hello_student:
2) This function should receive one argument, name
def hello_student(name):
3) This function should return one value, the string 'Hello ' followed by the value of the name parameter
return 'Hello ' + name
And that's it! Please note the space in the return statement in 'Hello '. For instance, we want to return Hello Tinayeshe and not HelloTinayeshe.
So when we put the lines together we get:
def hello_student(name):
return 'Hello ' + name
Hope this helps!
