Python Basics Can someone help me out on the 2nd course - step 7(string formatting) - challenge task 2, on python basic

I typed in name = "xyz" subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(xyz)

This seems to be what it's asking me to do but it's a no go. Can someone help a friendly coder out plz.

Even without the challenge, I think I've spotted it...

:point_right: It looks like you're not using the right variable for the format.

You assigned a variable name but your format argument is xyz.
