Daniel Gold
961 PointsHaving a weird problem with this challenge. I get to stage 3 and it says my stage one is wrong.
I go back and change nothing in stage one and it accepts it again. Go back to stage 3. rejects again. Please help.
name = "daniel"
n1 = "Tree"
n2 = "house"
treehouse = n1 + n2
email_greeting("{} loves {}".format(treehouse, name))

treehouse = "Tree" + "house"
Then do the same for email_greeting (using the + operator still).

40,533 PointsThe challenge wants you to use the + operator for concatenation instead of format. Also email_greeting is a variable you want to set to the result, not a function.
Kenneth Love
Treehouse Guest TeacherThe n1 + n2 is fine (not exactly what I wanted, but fine). The only mistake in your code is that you didn't use an = on the email_greeting line.

961 PointsThanks Ken,
So it should have been like this ?
email_greeting = ("{} loves {}".format(treehouse, name))
What would you have wanted instead of n1 + n2
Kenneth Love
Treehouse Guest TeacherYou don't need that outside set of parentheses.
And my goal was to get you to do treehouse = "Tree" + "house". You've done that, just indirectly.

961 PointsI get it now. Thanks.

name = ('jack') n = ('Tree') x = ('Hose') treehouse = (n + x) or treehouse = ('{}{}'.format(n,x))
and it still says its wrong
