I rewrote the code 3 times on workspace and all there have returned "Hello Ashley" but here it tells me its wrong.

.

creating_functions.py 
def hello_student(name):
    grettings = name
    return "Hello" + name

print(hello_student("Ashley"))

Hi Angel. You need a space after hello inside the quotes. Also you do not need the print statement. Yes that’s always good for troubleshooting. But the challenge did not ask for it and that will sometimes confuse the challenge checking logic. The second part of the question will ask you to call the function and store the result to a variable.

Good luck Angel! Keep at it.
