Hi. When I get to task two, it says you haven't assigned a variable to treehouse. I can't figure out exactly how to doit

name = ('Abdul') treehouse= "tree + house")

This is the code I typed so far. Please help. Thank you

name.py 
name = ('Abdullah')
treehouse = ("Tree + house")

Don't put the parenthesis there when assigning a string to variable.

name = 'Abdullah'
treehouse = "Tree" + "house"

Thank you. Also, I didn't quite understand task three. If you could help me with that?

name = 'Abdullah' treehouse = "Tree" + "house" email_greeting = treehouse + " love " + name

This is the exact code I typed. When I get to the last one it says try again. Why is that?
