This is not working: language = "Ruby" description = "awesome" puts language + description

language = "Ruby" description = "awesome"

puts language description

variables.rb 
language = "Ruby" 
description = "awesome" 

puts language description

Add a comma to your puts statement. Like this: puts language, description.

Lot of people seem to be getting confused by this. I just made a small tweak to the challenge task description: "...Then make a single call to puts and pass it two arguments, separated by a comma: the language and description variables."
