273 Points<----- not smart
Kevin Franks
12,933 PointsIt's not that bad. If you ran it in shell you would see the error saying that name = kyle was invalid due to kyle not being an initialized variable. The test just stops when your script throws an exception. In multi-step problems it will tell you that step 1 no longer works.

273 Pointsthank you. I am a mechanical engineer trying to learn how to code in order to make a couple ideas happen. I have never programmed before.
