231,210 PointsIt's because the title of your favorite book isn't really "zak"! ... just kidding!
From a practical programming perspective, there's nothing actually wrong with your code, but this challenge wants you to practice initialization, where you declare and assign a variable in the same statement.
So combine your separate declaration and assignment into a single initialization and you'll pass.
