[Tutor] raw_input

[Rob Andrews]

Your first line reads:

 >>> raw_input ("Enter your name:")

It should probably read:

>>> name = raw_input("Enter your name:")

This way you assign the user's raw input to the variable "name". And when
you ">>> print name" it should print the value assigned to name.

Woohoo I can help! 3;->

>>> raw_input ("Enter your name:")
Enter your name:Brendhan
'Brendhan'
>>> print name
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<pyshell#7>", line 1, in ?
    print name
NameError: There is no variable named 'name'

Okay What did I do wrong it should have printed my name after the print name
command.
