python simple question

Finally, create a new variable named email_greeting that puts treehouse and name into "X loves Y" so X is treehouse and Y is name.

Typed this but didnt like it

name = "John" treehouse = "Tree" + "house" email_greeting = treehouse + "loves" + name

you are almost correct, you need to add spaces before and after loves so that it outputs correctly

name = "John"
treehouse = "Tree" + "house"
email_greeting = treehouse + " loves " + name

this will output "Treehouse loves John". without the spaces it would be "TreehouselovesJohn"

As lauren said you could also use the .format function, either way will work. Personally i prefer using the format function so you dont have to worry about adding spaces onto the ends of your strings

email_greeting = "{} loves {}".format(treehouse, name)

I think you're supposed to use the {} and .format() to create this sentence, rather than just concatenating the variables and string together.
