The variable "Treehouse" does not pass.

I keep trying and trying this task again and again in different ways but it just does not pass me.

The instruction is to create a variable named "Treehouse" combining the two strings "tree" and "house".

I did this using this code:

Treehouse = "tree" + "house"

The instruction was also to keep task 1's code.

Which I added the treehouse variable to the bottom of task 1's code.

name = "Shelley"

if name == "Shelley": print(name + " She is a lumberjack and is okay! ") else: print(name + " sleeps all night and " + name + " and works all day!")

Treehouse = "tree" + "house"

The error message is: Bummer! You didn't create the treehouse variable!

Where am I going wrong?

name.py 
name = "Shelley"

if name == "Shelley":
  print(name + " She is a lumberjack and is okay! ")
else:
  print(name + " sleeps all night and " + name + " and works all day!")

Treehouse = "tree" + "house"

Got it!

It is case sensitive

treehouse = "Tree" + "house"

This is correct

In Python, the convention is to use all lowercase for variables. Class names have the first letter capitalizer (e.g. Treehouse), and constants are in all caps (TREEHOUSE).
