Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're getting this error message for two reasons. The first step asks that you define a variable named name and set it equal to your name, which you apparently did just fine. But then you removed that line. Take a look at the informational tip in the challenge:
Important: In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task.
Another reason for getting this message is because of a syntax error, which is also the case here. Because you've removed the line that defines name, when you try to concatenate name onto the string literal, it is no longer defined and thus, a syntax error occurs.
Finally, the variable should be named subject and not Subject. Note the capitalization here. Challenges are extremely strict. Instructions must be followed to the letter. This includes capitalization, punctuation, spelling, and even spacing!
Hope this helps!
