Finally, create a new variable named email_greeting that uses str.format to combine the treehouse variable, the word "loves", and the name variable with spaces between each item. eg: "Treehouse loves Andrew"
name="gokul"
treehouse="Tree" + "house"
email_greeting=print(treehouse +" loves " + name)

treehouse = "Tree" + "house"
email_greeting = "{} loves {}".format(treehouse, name)
Note that the preferred style is to include spaces around the equals sign.

Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsHi Taha, it might related to your other code. Can you post all your current code?

Python Development Techdegree Student 2,506 PointsHi Chris, thanks for answering and your time as well :)
name = "Taha";
treehouse = "Tree" + "house";
email_greeting = "{} loves {}".format(treehouse, name)

Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsTaha, your code is very close. You need only one space surrounding "loves". you have two. remove the extra spaces and your good to go1
