In python 3, which is what Treehouse teaches print is a function, and has to be called with parenthesis. You can't leave them off like you have done. That is only valid to do in Python 2, due to print being defined as a statement, not a function in that version of Python.

If you add parenthesis like this:

for word in hellos:
    print("{} World".format(word))

Then your code will work. Though it's also worth mentioning that your use of format is a bit overkill, this task can be solved with simple string concatenation like this:

for word in hellos:
    print(word + " World")

That is the intended solution to this challenge.

woow. You r right. Your code is simple and clean but mine is kind of lengthy.
