For this, you want to interpolate the two varialbes you have created into one larger string using the str.format()
function.
Like this:
email_greeting = str.format("{} loves {}", treehouse, name)
At each marker point, {}, the variables listed at the end, between commas, will be inserted in turn. So, the value held inside the treehouse
variable will be inserted at the first {}, then the value held inside the name
variable will be inserted at the second. The output will be Treehouse loves Steve
, where variable treehouse
contains "Treehouse" and the variable name
contains "Steve".
I hope that helps.
Steve.
