strings are not working here, yet in regular IDE they work

name variable works subject variable works This on my personal IDE works: Name = "blahblah" subject = "treehouse loves + name <<<WORKS HOWEVER! subject="treehouse loves {}" print(subject.format(name)) DOES NOT AT ALLL!

How is this !!!!!!

HELPHELP HELPP

On workspaces name =" MY " "NAME" name "MY NAME" subject = "Treehouse loves {}" subject "Treehouse loves {}" print(subject.format(name)) "Treehouse loves MY NAME"

On Task from class name = "MY " "NAME" name (nothing returned) subject = "Treehouse loves {}" subject (nothing returned) print(subject.format(name)) result: Bummer! Be sure to use the '{}' [placeholder and the '.format()' method

Where the hell did i NOT use these!?

No need to print. Just pop in the subject variable like this. :)

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