.format method

Hi there,

I can't seem to get passed this question. I'm asked to use the .format() method to place my name into the string "Treehouse loves {}". I even ran this is the shell with no issue. Why can't I pass this quiz :/

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

Scan through the video and look at how Kenneth formats it. Third line isn't needed.

You're right. Your code does work. The challenge is asking for something very specific. I've run into this problem many times throughout challenges.

Try rearranging your subject variable so that it is all on one line and see how you go.

e.g. 

subject = [YOUR CODE HERE]
