Hi, I'm almost positive I have this correct, but it won't work. Is there something wrong with my code? Thanks!
name = "Emily"
treehouse = "Tree" + "house"
email_greeting = "{} loves {}".format(name, treehouse)

1,396 PointsSorry, I thought more details about where I was would be included. This is the Stage 2: Ins and Outs challenge for Python Basics. The question is:
"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!"
I've done it over and over and have no idea what they're looking for if it's not this. Thanks again!
