Boris' answer is also correct. Another viable way that was taught previously simply uses the + operator to concat the strings. 

name = 'Charlie'
treehouse = 'Tree' + 'house'
# Notice you need to place spaces around the middle word so that it doesn't come out as CharlielovesTreehouse.
email_greeting = treehouse + ' loves ' + name
