If you checked what subject was after this code has been run, it would be:
Treehouse LovesTreehouse LovesSisley
And no, I'm not joking. Try printing out subject in Workspaces (after this code) and seeing the same result.
This is because you are assigning "Treehouse Loves" to a variable called subject then later adding on another "Treehouse Love" and your name.
If you remove the second line of code, you should get this result (a little better):
Treehouse LovesSisley
Now, the reason there's no space between "Treehouse Loves" and your name is because you didn't specify a space. Python is really picky about your code, you you have to explicitly say there's supposed to be a space there.
If you fix the last line of code, your code should look like:
name = "Sisley"
subject = "Treehouse Loves" + " " + name
And your result:
Treehouse Loves Sisley
I hope you understand now :)
Good luck! ~alex
