I can't get past this

OK! Make a new variable named subject that concatenates (uses the + sign) the string "Treehouse loves" and your name variable. You've probably received an email or two with this subject already!

strings.py 
name = ("Rashed") 
subject = ("Treehouse loves" )
Treehouse loves  + name

This is wrong - 

subject = ("Treehouse loves" )
Treehouse loves  + name
  1. You first create the strings - "Treehouse loves " + name
  2. Then you assign the whole thing to subject - subject = "Treehouse loves " + name

You're almost there!

So what the challenge is asking you to do it, create a new variable and add together a string and another variable.

To fix your code you just need to remove the third line and use this for the second line:

subject = "Treehouse loves " + name

When you then call the variable, subject, you'll get the output: Treehouse loves ... replace ... with the name you put in the name variable

Hope this helps! Happy coding :)
