Python Basics: String Formatting

This code does not work name="nicolas" subject="Treehouse loves {}" subject.format(name)

or this

name="nicolas" subject="Treehouse loves {}" .format(name)

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

I tried this one again and they want you to put the .format(name) on the second line. So it'll look like this:

name="nicolas"
subject="Treehouse loves {}".format(name)

I hope this helps!
