it says i need extra space but you shouldn't as this code should be right

subject = "Treehouse loves" + name

When you use string concatentaion strings are glued together without any spaces added between them, if you want there to be a space you have to add one manually. This can be done either by adding a space to one of the string like this:
subject = "Treehouse loves " + name
Or by concatenating a string that just contains a space like this:
subject = "Treehouse loves" + " " + name
Either way will work, but one way or the other you do have to add a space manually.
