Hi Christophe,

Not sure what challenge you're talking about (link to it if you can), but I'm assuming you're supposed to be doing string formatting like this:

name = "Christophe"
greeting = "Hello {}".format(name)

I would highly recommend reviewing the video on strings from Python Basics here.

Cheers :beers:

OK gotcha. I found the challenge.

Can you copy and paste the exact code you ran that is failing?

Hm, that's working just fine for me. Are you sure you haven't changed anything else in the code? Even just a space before print would cause a problem. What error message are you getting?

Ah yeah that happens from time to time. It has nothing to do with the code you've entered. If you click the Reload Challenge button, it should work... eventually. Some days it's frustrating how frequently this happens. Definitely email support if it keeps happening!
