The code challenge is asking you to correct the errors that that code has.

print("Hello")
print(name)          <---- this variable called "name" was never defined

print("Let's do some math!")
print(5 + "a")        <---- Python doesn't do type coercion so you can't add a string to a number

print("Thanks for playing along!')    <---- Here is using double quotes first and single quotes after, can't do that.

Possible correction:

name = "Federico"
print("Hello")
print(name)

print("Let's do some math!")
print("5" + "a")

print("Thanks for playing along!")

I hope that helps a little bit
