Learn Python -- create variable 'treehouse' by combining 'Tree' and 'house': treehouse = "Tree" + "house" Fails?

Learn Python - Challenge task 2 of 3:

Now, create a variable named treehouse by combining two strings, "Tree" and "house".

Code:

treehouse = "Tree" + "house"

Gives me an error "Task 1 is no longer passing". Tried going back and reviewing the video again, even logging out and in again but can't get past this.

Am I missing something really obvious?

Don

name.py 
treehouse = "Tree" + "house"

Hi Don,

I think you did it right, but the error said "Task 1 is no longer passing", so what you did with task one code that ask to create variable and have a string of your name. You can try again.

name = "yourName"
treehouse = "Tree" + "house"

This works fine for me.

Each step is cumulative, so you (usually) won't be removing what you did in an older step.
