Treehouse TeacherJulian;
You are almost there, one slight change in your code. Let's review what the problem is.
Task 1 of this Challenge asks us to:
Create a variable named name with your name in it.
In Python you state the name of the variable, in this case it is name, an equal sign, stating that the variable name is equal to something, and then what it is equal to. In this case it is equal to a string with your name in it, so that would require quotes, correct?
So the Python code would look like (comments are not necessary for the Challenge):
# Course: Python Basics
# Module: Ins & Outs
# Challenge: Ins & Outs
# Task: 1 of 3
name = "Julian"
Does that clear anything up?
Happy coding,
Ken
