Can someone tell me what's wrong with this code??

This code outputs the right value but it's still saying it's wrong

creating_functions.py 
def hello_student(name):
    print("Hello", name)

hello_student("Kelly")

You are supposed to return a value, not print it. Here:

def hello_student(name):
 return 'Hello ' + name

hello = hello_student("Some name")
