I don't know "save the return value to a variable" means

It shows EOFError

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

name = input()
hello_student(name)

you don't need to add input you don't need value in the function def.

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

hello_student("mohan")
