Hi, Pls can you tell me what is wrong with this code?

I'm not sure what the problem is with my concatenation.

strings.py 
name = "Osemudiamen"
name = 'subject'
subject = "Treehouse loves _+_ Osemudiamen"

Hi, The assignment was divided into two tasks: Task 1 I want you to help me make a string to use for an email greeting. To start, we need a variable named name that's assigned to your name. Deja vu, huh?

Task 2: OK! Make a new variable named subject that concatenates (uses the + sign) the string "Treehouse loves" and your name variable. You've probably received an email or two with this subject already!

Thanks!
