How do I do the third task?

I don't know what to add?

name.py
name = "Godswill"
treehouse = "Tree" + "house"
email_greeting = X + Y

Hello Godswill,

If you review the video previous to the quiz it explains how to format strings.

first_name = "Ryan"
last_name = "Ackermann"
full_name = first_name +  " " + last_name
greeting = "Hello {}".format(full_name)

This is a simple script that declares 2 variable to hold my first and last name and a third to combine both into a single variable, with a space. the greeting variable is where I declare a final variable to hold a greeting using the formatting shown in the video.

Hope this helps you.

Have a great day :)

I'm not sure how I got involved helping you answer your ? (meaning I'm not exactly the expert, but I'll give it a try...)

name = "Goodwill" treehouse = "Tree" + "house" email_greeting = "{}+{}".format (name, treehouse)

I'm not sure if this is correct, but I hope it helps!

email_greeting should end up being "Treehouse loves Goodwill". You should do this with either string concatenation (+) or the .format() method on strings.
