Courses Plus Student 227 Pointssubject = "Treehouse loves, name" name has been defined has "Shaun" a string variable how do I do this properly?
I've defined name = "Shaun" subject = "Treehouse loves + name" subject = "Treehouse loves" + name
neither of these work
name = "Shaun"
subject = "Treehouse loves, name"

Treehouse TeacherIt wants you to use string concatenation. It doesn't understand in this context (without interpolation which comes later) that the name in your string is referencing your variable. So it's going to print out very literally what's inside those quots character for character. The challenge wants you to use concatenation, so take a look at how we do this.
name = "Shaun"
subject = "Treehouse loves " + name
Here we assign the variable subject "Treehouse loves " and then tack the name string onto the end. Note the trailing space after "Treehouse loves ". If we don't include this, our resulting string will be "Treehouse lovesShaun". So make sure to include the space otherwise the challenge will fail. Hope this helps!
