name=("ardy")
subject=("Treehouse loves")
name + subject

Firstly Looking at the code, firstly you need to close the quote marks at the end of the subject variable ("Treehouse loves") if you look at the syntax highlighting in your example you'll see the closed parenthesis in pink.

Secondly you don't need the parenthesis () at all, These are not needed for this, they are generally in python to group bits of code to pass to other functions or in functions to receive code and for tuples and other things. Moment the () are creating a tuple variable of "ardy" and subject="Treehouse loves"

name="ardy"
subject="Treehouse loves"
name + subject

Thirdly the challenge says to create another variable called subject that concatenates (sticks the strings together), in the code about you are doing this as you would in the REPL.

So the code should be

subject = name + "Treehouse loves"

I hope this helps, keep at it, you'll be at the end of the track in no time!!!!
