Hey Gerald, you solution would work aswell, but in this challenge, it actually wants you to use the '+' operator, so instead do:

subject="Treehouse loves " + name

Hope this helps!

name="ford" subject="Treehouse loves"+ name It’s not working

Hey again Gerald! Your still missing that space. With your code subject would be "Treehouse lovesford". But you want it to be "Treehouse loves ford". So put a space after your string.

name="ford" subject="Treehouse loves" + name Not working for me

Your doing:

subject="Treehouse loves" + name

When you should be doing:

subject="Treehouse loves " + name

Thanks
