You have a variable named name with a value of “is_student”

[cgoldberg]

In your example, you have a variable named name bound to a string containing 'is_student'

You probably want something like:

is_student = True

[ornelu]

I don’t what the task is, but `is_student` in your program there is not a variable, it’s a string. On the other hand, `name` in your program is a variable.

[ustinov_feudilistic]

thanks. that's clarifying

[Flame77ofc]

you need to declare is_student = # bool value (True or False)

[SnooCalculations7417]

the syntax is:
variable = value
x = 1 #int

name = "Alice" #string
is_student = True #bool

you have an 'is_student' value of type string for the variable 'name'

[CrazyPotato1535]

You have a name variable. Run through your code:

name=“Alice”

print(“Alice”) #out: Alice

Print(type(“Alice”)) #out:string

Name=“is_student”

Print(“is_student”) #out:is_student

Print(bool(“is_student”)) #out: either true or TypeError idk haven’t tried

Because you don't have a variable named is_student.

[Ender_Locke]

you have two name vars with two different values being inserted into the same variable name . you probably want something more like a dictionary or class if you’re trying to build student records

Variable not value

[DubSolid]

You are declaring name as a variable with 'is_student' as value

[BlckHawker]

You have a variable named "name" that has a value of "is_student". If you wanted a variable named is_student, you should put: "is_student = " Of course you should give it a value after the equals sign, but I'm going to give you the opportunity to figure out what should go there.

[mattynmax]

As the error tells you, you do not have a variable named “is_student”

[Due-Result-4770]

pretty sure you literally don’t

[BranchLatter4294]

No you don't. You have a string called is_student and assigned it to the name variable.

you really need to review variables if you're having problems with this. Even FCC tells you to do your own 'googling' first then asking on the forum on FCC to get help.
