Tell us what’s happening:

There’s a text in this lesson:
“The output paragraph will then display a greeting message using the provided name or Guest if the user canceled.”

Shouldn’t it be:
“The output paragraph will then display a greeting message using the provided name or null if the user canceled.”?

You are right, that’s what it does. There are other scenarios as well . If the user presses OK and removes the default text then no text shows in the message.
