Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my code?

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

I would look at two things:

First, you do not need to print the email_greeting variable.

Second, they want you to format email_greeting in a particular order - (treehouse, name).
