Treehouse Moderator 27,708 PointsI don't give out straight answers, but I've given all the clues I can. Combining everything I suggested:
print("Hello, Treehouse")
They were very specific in their request.

Courses Plus Student 73 PointsReally guy? " Capitalization counts, bud. Take another look at that print() function ... Gotcha. I guess I should have included punctuation, white space, and semicolons." How is that helpful? That is ridiculous and extremely vague to someone as green as me especially in the second part because you're speaking in first person. How is what you should do beneficial to me? I understand you don't want to spoon feed people information but there was something SERIOUSLY wrong with the way the instructions were worded, and the suggestions after rechecking work was sending me in a completely different direction. That was literally the first function I have ever attempted to code and the fact you would not explain were I went wrong is crazy

Treehouse Moderator 27,708 PointsSorry you feel that way, Mitchell. What can I explain? I never took the course, but the instructions explicitly told you what the expected output should be. And, the function is literally print();. I suggest you rewatch the videos until you grasp the concept and read any supplementary documentation you can find using the Googs. I don't know what else to tell ya. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I've tried correcting the capital Print in your solution:
print("Hello,Treehouse")
And also got the response:
'Bummer! Good try! Ensure you spelled the statement correctly. The case (upper and lower) matters! Should look something like: print("Hello, Treehouse")'
I agree this is a confusing reply. This hint is implying that capitalization or spelling is still the issue when it is actually the missing space.
Also in this hint, it gives the actual solution in the hint, but as a beginner it is understandable that you might not recognize the space as important.
I will report your finding as a suggestion to improve the challenge hint text. Treehouse is always looking for suggestions to improve their content.
Thanks for the feedback. Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!

Courses Plus Student 73 PointsAppreciate the quick response! As I said I have tried multiple variations the ex provided was one of them. When I typed it as it is displayed ie: print("Hello,Treehouse") the print portion turns red and the directions change and it says "the case (upper and lower) matters!". When the P in print is capitalized it no longer says that.

Courses Plus Student 73 PointsHere are the instructions for this challenge: Let's try something else! Again, you haven't done this yet, but you've seen it already. I need you to print something out for me.
Use the print() function to print the string "Hello, Treehouse".
I know I am missing something simplistic but if I could identify what I wouldn't be in python basics. It's python so like it said I'm not taking it too seriously! haha but you can see how this could be frustrating
