email_greeting assignment

I am having trouble with this assignment. I want to create a variable, or a string? and I have to append the last two variables? I am unsure of how to go about this. Thanks

name.py 
name = "charles"
treehouse = "Tree"+ "house"
email_greeting = print({} loves {} .format(name,treehouse)

Hey Charles!

You're close! We're not trying to print anything out though, we're just assigning a string to email_greeting, so you do not need the print in there.

The format method needs to be called on a string, so if you surround {} loves {} with quotes and then call the format method on it, it should work properly. Also, I believe they want the treehouse variable to go first, so if you switch name and treehouse you should be good to go.

Hope that helps!
