Hi David,

As you create a variable called name containing your string "Deja Vu huh", you could later use that to place that string wherever you'd like, like this:

subject = "Treehouse_Loves" + ' ' + name

Try that.

By doing this you don't have to repeat yourself over and over, and if the name variable changes it will change everywhere you use it and you won't need to change it manually.

The challenge specifically says to combine the string "Treehouse loves" and your name variable. Note that there's a space between the words (not an underscore) and that "loves" is all lower-case (no capital "L").

And instead of repeating your name in quotes, you should use the variable name that you created in task 1.

Also, I will respond to a comment added to an existing question if you're still working on the same issue.

David, I think you need to read the instructions once more a little bit more thorough.

As Steven Parker told you, you are not writing the correct string. The instructions asks you to write "Treehouse loves", not "Treehouse".

Good luck

You're close now ... you still need the word "loves" in there. And don't put quotes around the name of a variable.
