I have been at it for hours and just got totally stuck on the chat bot v1.1 very first problem got me stuck.

Question

I am 26 lessons into getting started with Python and am stuck writing the very first code.Use string concatenation to join strings together and display a personalized friendly message. I am not getting past "name" for some reason. This what I got:

# Take the name as input
name = "Mary"

# Use concatenation to join 2 strings
message = ("Nice to meet you, " + name)

# Display the message to the user
print (message)

What am I doing wrong? And what are tags?

Answer 1

Don’t hard code the name. What will you do if the name isn’t mary. The whole point of programming is to set up one code that will haandle all cases.
Think about how to get user input.

Answer 2

# Take the name as input
name = "Mary" # no hardcoding

name = input() # string input

Answer 3

Your code works, but the code wants you to use input() instead of hardcoding "Mary"[hard coding means writing a fixed value directly into your code instead of letting the program get it from somewhere else]
So it shoud have an input() so the user can type any name

And tags are just like hashtags,so people can find your post more easily
