Oops! It looks like task one is no longer passing!

Question

I don't see what I did wrong, I am on question 2.

name.py

name = ("robby")
tree = ("Tree")
house = ("house")
print("{}{}".varible(tree, house))

In this question, your trying to make a variable with the value "Treehouse" with two STRINGS. What your trying to do is Print the value of two different variables.

This example works in the code challenge:

name = ("robby")
treehouse = ("Tree" + "house")

Here the value for "treehouse" is being set by the strings "Tree" and "house". The + operator when used in this scenario appends the two strings.

Hope this helps.

When it says the first task is no longer passing it often is caused by a new syntax error. In this case .varible() is not a string method. What you wanted is .format(). That said, you need to create a new variable that is the two partial strings joined together.

Also, you do not need the parens around the strings:

name = "robby"
tree = "Tree"
house = "house"
print("{}{}".format(tree, house))

You can join strings in many ways:

simply add them, format them to a new string, or use the join() method:

newstring = "firstpart" + " " + "secondpart"  # <-- ok for short strings
newstring = "{} {}".format("firstpart", "secondpart")  # <-- good when other formating or text is part of the format
newstring = ' '.join("firstpart", "secondpart")  # <-- best when you have a lot to join (like a list of items)
