I don't get the task? Please help me!

strings.py
name = Deja vu, huh?

You need to create a variable and assign it a value that is a string, such as

name = "Pavel"

You need to use quotation marks to assign a variable a value that is a string.

Deja vu is referring to the fact that you have already done a challenge where you did this previously.

Hiya Pavel! If you want anything to be a string , just wrap it in double or single quotes.

name = "Deja vu, huh?"

But i'd highly recommend ya to stick to instructions in the challenge coz it'll benefit ya a lot. Hope it helped. (:

literally what I put ;)
