"X loves Y" but with treehouse for X and name for Y. Don't forget your spacing! How to solve this?

When assigning values you can assign strings, integers, and floats. Using the print function I can combine variables and strings. But nothing I've done has worked.

name = "Dennis"
tree = "Tree"
house = "house"
treehouse = tree + house
loves = " loves "
stop = "."
email_greeting = name + loves + treehouse + stop

Hey Dennis.

I think you did ok till the treehouse variable line. For the last task (3/3) I would suggest that you do it in a single line.

You will need to create email_greeting (like you did) and set it equal to a string. INSIDE the string you can put placeholders like this: {} This would then give you the chance of being able (at the end of the string) to add .format() passing in the variables you want to use in the string.

For example:

name = "Vittorio"
job = "moderator"

job_string = "{} is a {}".format(name, job)

job_string would be "Vittorio is a moderator"

Hope this helps you!Let me know.

Hey Dennis.

You are very close but the string needs to be "Treehouse loves Dennis" and not "Dennis loves Treehouse"!

I think you can get what is wrong by yourself! ;)
