+In the example above, the variable `name` holds the value `'John Doe'`. This value is a string, which is a series of characters used to represent text. Strings are written with single or double quotes, for example `'Hello'` or `"Hello"`. In future lessons, you'll learn more about working with strings in Python.

 When naming variables in Python, there are some important rules you should keep in mind:
 
-- Variable names can only start with a letter or an underscore (`_`), not a number.    
-- Variable names can only contain alphanumeric characters (`a-z`, `A-Z`, `0-9`) and underscores (`_`).  
+- Variable names can only start with a letter or an underscore (`_`), not a number.
+- Variable names can only contain alphanumeric characters (`a-z`, `A-Z`, `0-9`) and underscores (`_`).
 - Variable names are case-sensitive — `age`, `Age`, and `AGE` are all considered unique.
 - Variable names cannot be one of Python's reserved keywords such as `if`, `class`, or `def`.
-    
 
 If you break any of those rules, your Python program will throw a `SyntaxError`:
