Hi everyone,
I just started python 30 minutes ago and I cannot seem to get the last challenge. It's a bit too vague for me
name = "kevin"
a = 3
print("Hello")
print(name)
print("Let's do some math!")
print(5 + a) << originally "a"
print("Thanks for playing along!')
I'm not sure what I should do for adding 5 + "a". I tried removing the quotes and made "a" into a variable but that didn't seem to work either.

Thanks. I updated my code however it's still not working. I get this error: SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal

print("Thanks for playing along!")
