Anyone to assist?

Call the hello_student() function and save the return value to a variable called hello

creating_functions.py 
def hello_student(name) :
    return 'Hello ' + name
hello_student()

Saving the return value of a function to a variable is no different than assigning any value to a variable. The variable goes on the left hand side, followed by the assignment operator, then the function call. In this case:

hello = hello_student("ernest")
