H Juba,

The task is asking to you to create the variable subject that contains the string "Treehouse loves " + the name variable. Keep in mind that the challenges will ask something of you very specific so unless it says to add a print statement, adding one in will cause the challenge to think something is wrong.

name = "Juba"
subject = "Treehouse loves " + name
