I have no idea what this question is asking. Maybe i need help with the terminology...

Im not sure what the question is asking me to do. Apparently I do not know what the different things are....i.e. "variable", "value"....

name.py 
name = ("What's your name? ")

if name == "Matt":
  print("{} is having a hard time.".format(name))
treehouse = ("Tree + name + house")

I have no idea what the question is but there are a few things i can see off the bat. If you are trying to ask the user for their name, and then store it in a name variable and then print it out, you want this

  name = input("What's your name?") #prompt the user to enter their name

  if name == "Matt":
    print("{} is having a hard time".format(name))

  #not sure what you are doing with this line, but if it is supposed to be part of the if statement it needs to be indented
  treehouse = "Tree " + name + " house"

Hey Matt, glad you found the answer you were looking for.Sorry I'm pretty new to using the forums, I think I worked it out now it does seem to give a link to the problem.

Happy Coding, stick with it because its worth it.
