What?

Not sure where to go from here.

I was certain that if I assigned the string 'Treehouse Loves {}'

To a variable (Ex: the variable will be hello) I would do. print(hello.format(name))

Where am I going wrong here?

strings.py 
name = 'Grayson'
subject = 'Treehouse Loves {}'
print(subject.format(name))

I reviewed the challenge and it seems that you don't need to print :). Just remove the last line and add the .format to the second string and it should be good to go!
