What am I doing wrong? If I don't use print what do I use? Thanks!
name = "Stephanie"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}"
print(subject.format(name))

Your code is really close to the solution. On this particular challenge the checker is looking for the format method used directly on the string "Treehouse loves {}".
In subsequent challenges reassigning back to subject would have worked:
subject = subject.format(name)
Post back if you have more questions. Good luck!!
