OK! Make a new variable named subject that concatenates (uses the + sign) the string "Treehouse loves" and your name variable.

not sure how to start this!!!!!!!!

strings.py 
name = "egal"
subject = "Treehouse loves " 
print(subject + name)

Hey there, I don't believe they are asking to print.

This may work:

name = "egal" subject = "Treehouse loves " + name

Although the question doesn't have a space after the word "loves", I do see you added it to separate the three words.

Good luck!

Yea made a mistake no print statement required, I put the spaces like they said and I still get this error message!!!!

Bummer! Remember that using + means your strings need extra spaces
