.format() challenge

I'm currently trying to pass this challenge but the webtool won't let me, I already made the code on the python shell succesfully

name = "Tony"

subject = "Treehouse loves {}"
print(subject.format(name))
Treehouse loves Tony

Hi Juan! I believe you're referring to this challenge. And you're very close here. In fact, your code should be functional. However, it's important to note that just because it's functional does not necessarily mean that it meets the specific requirements of the challenge.

It's important in these challenges to try not to do anything the challenge doesn't explicitly ask for. Even if it's functional, it can cause the challenge to fail. In this case, the challenge does not ask you to print anything.

:bulb: Hint: The total code for the second step of the challenge should only be two lines long. Try using the format() method directly on the string required by the challenge and assign the entire thing to the variable subject.

Hope this helps, but let me know if you're still stuck! :sparkles:
