I am trying to save the return value but every time I do that it just says 'Error'.
def hello_student(name):
return ('Hello ' + name)
hello_student()

Two things. One) Make sure you’re saving the returned string to a variable named hello. And Two) Make sure you actually pass an argument (ie. your name as a string) into the hello_student function.
If that doesn’t work let me know.

The purpose of your function hello_student() is similar to giving a shoutout like "Hello Faraz", so I think you are missing a positional argument in the function call just like what the error suggests "Bummer: TypeError: hello_student() missing 1 required positional argument: 'name'"
And once you get that sorted out, the challenge also requires you to store the function hello_student into a variable
post back if the problem persists
