:point_right: Concatenation is just a fancy way to say "adding strings together".

This is one of the concepts covered in the video on Strings.

You can cocatenate 2 strings together. You have the variable 'name' set to a string "Joacim". Try this:

subject  = "Treehouse Loves " + name. #Be sure to include a space after the s in Loves so it looks nice!
