The question goes: "Finally, create a new variable named email_greeting that puts the treehouse variable and the name variable into the sentence "X loves Y" but with treehouse for X and name for Y. Don't forget your spacing!"
I assigned (name) and (treehouse) to certain variables but cannot seem to assign the variables within variables..What do I do?
name=("james")
treehouse=('Tree'+'house')

should work.
by the way: name and treehouse are variables, and whatever they are set equal to is their value, not another variable.
name = "Tim" name is variable, Tim is the value (and a string.. hence name is of type string) if we write later, name = "John" name is variable, and now equal to value of John(also a string). neither Tim or John are variables, they are String values assigned to variables (in this case name)

You can use it to get greeting = "{} loves {}".format(treehouse,name)
