I'm not sure what you're trying to do here? Print your name?

name = ("christian") 
#or
name = ('christian')

Hi,

In the last exercise you have to do the following: Make a new variable named subject that concatenates (uses the + sign) the string "Treehouse loves" and your name variable.

For example: "Treehouse loves Mike".

You can do this in two different ways.

name = "Mike"

subject = "Treehouse loves " + name OR subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)

You need to use the second method in this exercise (where you needed to use the first one in the last.

Whether you use the regular quote marks or the double ones, doesn't matter, as long as you stay consistent.

You're code will be: 

name = "Christian"

subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)
