Also use + name instead of victor since the var is set already.

Hi Victor,

You've pretty much got it perfect, except that you are missing a space for the string. Right now your string will return "Treehouse lovesVictor". Notice there is no space before your name. This space can be added either at the end of the "Treehouse loves " or at the beginning of " Victor". Either will work, but the common place would be the former.

"Treehouse loves " + "Victor"

Nice work. Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:
