what is the value " name " used in this program?
Creating echo bot
why din’t we defined it
i am getting the error to define to define “name”
Hello @Tanu_jain , We can configure a new logger by using the getLogger(name) method. The method expects a name for the logger, else it is going to take the root logger’s name. It is always good practice to give it the modular name by using the __name__ variable. This way the configured logger is always going to track the name of the module that creates a log and therefore easier to analyze later. And what is the error related to define name pls explain it a little bit more.
I hope it is clear to you. In case it is clear to you pls mark it as resolve and provide the rating as well as feedback so that we can improve ourselves.
In case there is still some confusion pls let me know, I will surely try to help you out.
Thanks 
Happy Coding !!

please reply …i cant debug this error
can you pls provide the code in an understandable manner I will surely respond you back within 1-2 hours
but if i am pasting my code here it is
getting messed up.can u pls tell another way to provide u my code,so that u can understand my code easily
Use backticks print three backticks ``` paste the code and the again print three backticks

it would be grateful if indentation is correct 
but is it getting wrong when i am pasting my code here.
my code is same as in lecture
just tell me that,does i need to define name passed in getlogger (name)
because i am getting error that name is not defined
In your code the _name_ should contain two double underscores before and after __name__
Make sure to change single underscore to double underscore from everywhere and also “main” too contains double underscores.
