9,507 PointsI'm sorry, I'm not exactly sure what the question is. I can try to explain what's going on... hopefully that will help.
format()is a method that can be called on strings to substitute in a value for a placeholder. This is known as string interpolation. Theformat()method will replace occurrences of "{}" in a string with the string representation of the value provided as an argument to theformat()method.In this example, we're substituting in someone's name in the "Treehouse loves {}" string in place of the curly braces ("{}"). In the code above, the
subjectvariable will contain the string "Treehouse loves Talib".The
format()method can receive more than one argument to substitute in strings for multiple placeholders. The Python documentation for string formatting here has more details.Wes Arrington
