Can you be specific in your question? If, like I think, you are asking why you are getting errors, two reasons that I can see right away.

  • name is not defined. You will need to tell it that name = "Thulani Ncube" or change the line to print("name").
  • print(5 + "a") won't work. You can't concatenate a string and an integer. I hope that this helps.
