I keep getting the error: Remember that using '+' means that your string need extra space. I have no clue what this means as I have tried using different "
name = "Nick"
subject = "Treehouse loves" + "name"

for what error meaning is you'll need to add a space like "Treehouse loves " + "Nick"
since +
will only combine string if you don't add a space after loves the result will be Treehouse lovesNick
So your code should be something like this
name = "Nick";
subject = "Treehouse loves " + name
# the subject variable will be "Treehouse loves Nick"

Courses Plus Student 639 PointsI just found out you're asking python question since I have a long time not touching Python you should change var
to the way python to defined variable, the var
method is for javascript but the idea is the same
