Another problem with Treehouse...Already. It seems task 1 is not passing to task two. Task two is correct.

format for task one. name = "Preston"

format for task two. subject = "Treehouse loves {}" subject.format(name))

strings.py 
name = "Preston"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}"
subject.format(name))

Hey preston, there is a problem with your code. Specifically the .format() method. You should use it directly in the string. Like this:

name = 'Preston'
subject = 'Treehouse loves {}'.format(name)
