help I don't get it

i don't get it, where have a gone wrong

Your syntax is a little off, my friend. Remember, spacing and indentation is everything. Outside of that, in order to place things into space-holders in Python, you need to use .format() to do so.

name = "Caed"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)

Good luck!

Thank for your help i had confused myself with the two different methods of joining strings
