327 PointsHey David King, Before I help you welcome to Python, you will be creating a lot of variables in the future, and I hope you enjoy. Okay here is what you typed
Name = "David ' '
You can type this in 2 ways
Name = "David"
Or you can do it the other way
Name = 'David'
The thing that you did wrong was the quotation marks. I hope you enjoy Python.

360 PointsThank you very much but, I do not know if it is me or I am just lost when it comes to this. I am certified in Cisco, Novell, ComTIA, Microsoft and others. Not to bother you with my details but I did it your way and, I copied and paste and nothing work. But I will get it soon enough.

327 PointsThere are two ways to do it
name = "David"
name = 'David'
It didn't work last time because I typed it wrong
I believe it should work. I don't have any degrees as I am in year seven who is 12 years old and want to become a Software Engineer working for Google.

360 PointsI hope what I did was not a Python sin for beginners and or Novices like me but, I copied and paste your variable and it worked. LOL
