Python Python Basics (2015) Python for Beginners Create a variable

What am I missing?

So I'm on my first challenge, and the question is:

Make a variable named name. Then, assign it to your own name. Your name should be a string, so you need to put quote marks around it.

Hence, I provided the code below as my answer:

name = "Enock"

However, I keep getting this:

" Bummer! Didn't find your variable. Should be like name = "Kenneth"."

Please, what am I missing? I believe the problem isn't with my code.

Thanks

variable.py
name = "Enock"

Wow! I've tried that severally, and it's same old story.

Okay! It's worked after another try. Quite strange. Anyway, Thanks.

Yeah! I'm glad. Thanks!
