Python Python Basics (Retired) Ins & Outs Ins & Outs

Python Basics, Stage 2, Challenge Task 3 is confusing the heck out of me.

I'm just not sure what it's asking. Someone else asked the same question, but the answer didn't make much sense either. I'm trying everything here but I got nothing.

So you have two variables, yeah? name with your name, and treehouse with the concatenation of "Tree" and "house" in it.

Now combine those with the word "loves" between them, treehouse + " loves " + name. There's a certain variable name you need to give this.

Hey, Kenneth! It's the man himself. Thanks for the answer!

Anyway, it was a classic "basic syntax mistake that makes you feel like a chump when you finally notice it" situation. I'd put in what you have there a few times, then when you said it I knew it was right, but I forgot the parentheses. All good now. Anyway, thanks again.
