what else can I do with the strings?

I don't know what else to do is a space wrong?

strings.py 
"name" = "Frank"
"subject" += "Treehouse Loves"
"name" + "subject"

2 corrections:

Variable names should never be in quotes.

The operator += should only be used with a variable that has already been instantiated to a string.

name = "Frank"
subject = "Treehouse Loves "
sentence = subject + name
print sentence

Just like the post above.

name = "Frank"
subject = "Threehouse loves"
print("{} {}".format(subject, name))

print will print out "Threehouse loves Frank".
