Mate the question was to defined a variable of type string as name and then assign it with your own name.

String name="Shekhar Shah";

It will create a variable of type String which has is called name and it has your name stored in it. Strings are a data-type that can store all characters be it alphabet characters or numbers in the next videos you will learn more about other data-types until then enjoy with String.
