Write a function called hello_student. This function should receive one argument, name.

Is there anyone help me to solve the task below? I am pretty new to Python, and struggling to finish this task :(

[Write a function called hello_student. This function should receive one argument, name. This function should return one value, the string 'Hello ' followed by the value of the name parameter.]

Hey Maggie!

I followed the instructions and this was my result. 

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

print(hello_student("Maggie"))

Please let me know if this helps or not. I am also pretty new to Python.
