The way this challenge is stated is confusing.

Create a variable BY using two strings OR create a var WITH a string?

name.py 
name = 'Joel'
treehouse

The first part of the challenge asks to create a variable named name With your name in it. This would look like:

name = 'Joel Montes de Oca'

The next part asks to create the variable treehouse from two strings "Tree" and "house". This can be done like you name, but adding the parts together:

treehouse = 'Tree' + 'house'
