What do you mean by extra space

So it says there needs to be extra space on those strings, so I wrote: subject = "Treehouse loves" + My name

strings.py 
name = "Yungi"
subject = "Treehouse loves"  +  name

Hi there! If we were to print out the value of subject as it is in your code right now, it would print out this:

Treehouse lovesYungi

But we want the string stored in subject to look like this:

Treehouse loves Yungi

To accomplish this, you need to include an extra space at the end of "Treehouse loves".

# you wrote 

subject = "Treehouse loves"  +  name

# that should be

subject = "Treehouse loves "  +  name

Note the extra space between the "s" and the closing quotation marks.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
