2,027 PointsHi, I ran into some problems doing this simple code, and it's bothering me.
Write a function called hello_student. This function should receive one argument, name. This function should return one value, the string 'Hello ' followed by the value of the name parameter.
My final code: def hello_student(name): print("Hello "+ name) return
hello_student("Ashley")
Error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 53, in test_results AssertionError: None != 'Hello Ashley' : Whoops, it looks like the string returned from your function is incorrect. Double check spelling and make sure there is a space between words in the returned string.

Treehouse TeacherOkay, let's look at the challenge and break it all down for Task 1:
Write a function called hello_student.
def hello_student:
This function should receive one argument, name.
def hello_student(name):
This function should return one value, the string 'Hello ' followed by the value of the name parameter.
def hello_student(name):
return 'Hello ' + name
And there it is for Task 1!
Post back if that doesn't make sense.
Happy coding,
Ken

Treehouse TeacherJames-
I don't believe the challenge is asking for you to print anything. ;-)
You are pretty close, reread the directions and don't add anything else to your function.
Post back if you're still stuck.

2,027 PointsIt worked, I can't believe it was that simple. Sometimes I just try to do more than asked while following the video, and I guess that's what got me. Thank you

2,027 PointsI have been able to make it say Hello Ashley in different ways, but it just does not want to take it.
