After setting name = "your name", you would create the the following line:

subject = "Treehouse loves " + name

Don't forget to add a space after loves, or else the name variable will be added to the string without it.

This WAS NOT the correct answer according to them, but this brought up the correct answer in workspace

I tried this:

name = "bob" subject = "Treehouse loves " subject += name print(subject)

that should have worked for this problem but did not. The answer from Adam above will work for this question, not mine but I wanted to bring it up because it is right. Right??

lol and imagine if there are no syntax or alignment issues either. I typed it in right when I commented, not sure why the code ended up looking like that.
