300 Pointswhat is the correct way to answer this question?
In work spaces the code comes out correctly, so I'm not sure what the deal is. Is the question asking something else?
name = "Jake"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}"
subject.format(name)

Also, if I remember correctly, this challenge specifically wants you to apply the "format" method directly to the template string on the same line as you make the assignment of the new variable.
So, combining the last 2 lines and applying the format to the template and assigning the result:
subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)

300 PointsSo what would that look like if I applied the format method to that piece of code. I've been back to the video a few times but can't seem to make it work. I'm not sure how I need to write this piece of code.
