You have your template and argument reversed. The template goes in front of ".format", and the argument goes inside the parentheses.

Also, be careful to keep the template as provided in the instructions, with the braces inside the quotes with the other text. And it looks like you still need quotes around string being assigned to "name".

Here is a quick example of .format:

name = "Aayush {}"
full_name = name.format("Mitra")
print(full_name)

Hope this helps!

Thanks! :)

That might work in an IDE but it's not really what the challenge instructions say to do.

Okay, sorry about that.

I have put an answer to the actual challenge.

Sorry once again.

Could you please tell me what challenge he is on Steven? It did not have the link saying "veiw challenge".

Thanks! :)

No, that button is not present. I suspect this question was not created with the "get help" button.
