17,781 PointsI am guessing that you may have done what I just did when checking the code challenge you were working on. Make sure that you put the variable treehouse first and not name. At the very end it should say "Treehouse loves name" where name is your name. This is a solution using my name so if you would like to try it first, skip the next part of this answer.
name = "Chris"
treehouse = "Tree" + "house"
email_greeting = treehouse + " loves " + name
Notice that you need to add spaces around the word "loves" because there is no whitespace added when two strings are concatenated (added) together.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHi Robert,
You should have something like this for task 2:
treehouse = "Tree" + "house"
You can do task 3 like that except you're joining 2 variables and a string together.
You can also use .format() where you would have placeholders for X and Y and then pass into .format the 2 variables for X and Y.
Post what code you have attempted if you're still stuck.
