Please help me with my code!!!

Hello! My problem is that I wrote code in the Work Space and I think my code is correct somehow, but at the same time it's not. Could you tell me what is the mistake in my code 

def product(written_name, written_age, written_country):

    product = input("Hello, my name is: ")
    product = input("My age is: ")
    product = input("I came from: ") 

    print("Hi, my name's {}. I'm {}y.o and I'm from {}.".format(written_name, written_age, written_country))

If you want to use the input function to fill in the fields of the print statement, make the following changes:

  • instead of assigning to product, replace "product" with each of the format argument names: written_name, written_age, written_country
  • since all values will come from inputs, no function parameters are needed. Use nothing between the parens
def product():

    written_name = input("Hello, my name is: ")
    written_age = input("My age is: ")
    written_country = input("I came from: ") 

    print("Hi, my name's {}. I'm {}y.o and I'm from {}.".format(written_name, written_age, written_country))

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!

I want it to be like: so that the thing in a line 5 would output and the those gaps would be filled in by a input function, sorry for my bad English, thank you for your attention!!

OK,

The last line is OK

But

  1. You have this function "product" that takes 3 attributes: written_name, written_age, written_country

Where do you get the values for these 3 attributes? Nowhere.

  1. Then you have this variable "product" (same name as the function), that changes its value 3 times, but you never use
