python basics 'string concatenation'. i must have missed something. not answering part 2 of the questions correctly.

OK! Make a new variable named subject that concatenates (uses the + sign) the string "Treehouse loves" and your name variable.

i keep doing something wrong. i've reviewed the video but i can't seem to see the mistake

strings.py 
name="john"
Subject='treehouse loves' + 'john'

You are very close but there are three errors:

  • subject Should not be capitalized
  • there needs to be a space between loves and the name
  • the statement for subject should use the variable name and not a literal string for the name

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!

chris, thank you so much. a few minutes after posting, i figured it out. i was distracted while watching the video at work during lunch. i had to go back over it and then i was able to correct my mistakes.

I'm enjoying learning python and i truly appreciate your assistance.

thanks again!
