Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing.

Although I've successfully completed the Task 1, whenever I "Check work' the 2nd task I get this message "Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing." but I don't know why. Please help.

strings.py 
name = "Abdullah"
subject = "Treehouse loves"+str.name

Hi Abdullah! You're very close but, as the name variable is already a string, there is no need to make it a string. Also, there will need to be a space between loves and your name like this:

name = 'Alex'
subject = 'Treehouse loves ' + name
