python basics

Finally, create a new variable named email_greeting that puts the treehouse variable and the name variable into the sentence "X loves Y" but with treehouse for X and name for Y. Don't forget your spacing!

name.py 
name = "lanre"
treehouse = "Tree"+"house"

email_greeting = " X = treehouse " + " loves " + " Y = name "

Hello Adedara. For the email_greeting variable to equal the correct concatenated string, you only need to fill in the places where x and y are in the challenge. In other words on the left side of " loves ", you name the variable that you used for the string "Treehouse", and on the right side you need to use the variable that you used to store your name.

And remember, you do not use quotes when referring to a variable.

You have an odd number of quotation marks. You are missing one.

The two issues that I see above (if your code is the same as the text in your reply) is that you need to include spaces between loves and the quotation marks in order to separate the words. The second issue is that your second variable says "names" instead of "name".
