TL;DR: It is not written as a string and the function isn't written properly. If you just started learning Python, that's OK! Read on.

You have given print(peter songo to Python.
There are two issues to this.

  1. Python doesn't know that these are words.

To show to Python that you are writing words, you have to tell it that it is a string, otherwise it will think you are telling it something else that doesn't exist. Python knows that something is a string when there are two "s or 's around it.

Examples:

print("Hello World")

Notice the "s there.

print('Good night')

Here there are 's instead of "s.

Note that you cannot combine "s and 's. Examples of what you CANNOT do: print("peter songo') or print('peter songo").

  1. There needs to be a ( and a ) after print, and your words go inside it.

To show something on the screen to the person who is using your code, you will need to use a function called print. Your teacher may teach you what functions are later. If you don't know, just look it up online. I recommend W3Schools for this and more.

Summarized for you: A function is multiple lines of code that can be used with one line. It is usually used when code has to be run multiple times.

A function requires parentheses - ( and ). Inside the parentheses, you put in what you want to tell the function/lines of code. In this case, you want to tell it the words "peter songo".

The code all corrected:

print("peter songo")

or

print('peter songo')

This will put the words "peter songo" on the screen. Note that the words inside the "s or 's can be changed to your liking.

Hope this helped.

You need to put your string in parentheses.

print("Peter Songo")
