Prompts in the challenges

Hello,

I've noticed that after viewing he lecture there are challenges. If I do something incorrectly, I am prompted with a hint that starts with "Bummer! ...."

If said hints make no sense, Im stuck and I feel uncomfortable moving forward. Im not sure how Im suppose to get the most out of this sort of training if I don't understand something basic before moving on.

Id like to make the most of this site/membership but if Im always lost I'm not sure it'll make sense to proceed given that the future lectures will add on.

Do you have a recommended method of how to use this site and make the most of my training ?

Thanks in advance,

-Daniel

strings.py
variable = "name"
name = "Daniel"

variable_2 = "subject"
subject = "Treehouse loves"

"Treehouse loves "  +  "Daniel"

Good day, dont be dispondent, you have asked the right place. The response generated is automated and cannot be taylored to the many incorrect answers submitted.

But the commuity can give you more direct help, by simply asking, as you have done.

The challenge asks you to make a new variable named subject, which you have done. You just need to assign concatenates the string "Treehouse loves" and your name variable

 subject = "Treehouse loves "  +  name

Notice the space after loves. This is the space the error message mentions.

The other line variable_2 = "subject" is unnessary.

Keep up the effort and you will succeed.
