Hi ayub,

You're kind of close. The challenge isn't asking you to print anything.

The first step asks you to create a variable called name and assign it a value. That's easy enough and you have it.

name=name=" how much for this 3"

The second part of the challenge asks you to create a new variable called string and assign the text "Treehouse loves {}" to it. Then it wants you to use the format function to place your name into it.

The following code should work for you

name = "how much for this 3"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)

You may want to review the video that was two steps before the challenge as it has some good content in there and a working example of this challenge in the Teacher's Notes.

name=" how much for this 3" #correct, but this context, you can print your name.
print(name.format(3)) #not needed, you have to take this off.
subject="Treehouse loves {}" #partially correct, your name in the variable will have to be inside the placeholder, hint (use format)
print(subject.format(Treehouse loves {})) #no need
