Hey Ying,

let's understand what the task is asking us to do. First, it want's us to set our name to the variable 'name'. Then, it want's us to set another variable called subject with the value 'Treehouse loves' + our name. To concatenate in python you use the '+' sign, and you can use a variable too. So it should be something like this:

name = 'Ying'
subject = 'Treehouse loves ' + name
