Hey there Daniel,

the reason why you're not passing this challenge is because you need a trailing space. So just add a space after the question mark and it should work fine! I also recommend writing the exact same string that the challenge wants you to write, so you should write the first letter capitalized in this case.

Like so:

age = input("What is your age? ")

I hope that helps! :)
