It looks like you need to use the variable name, and set it equal to your name:

name = 'Brian'

Just remember to put the value of the variable in quotes, otherwise the computer thinks you are referring to another variable. The code sample you provided looks like you would be calling a function called name and passing it an argument of the variable Brian.
