where does str.format go in this one?

name = 'Bryan' treehouse = "Tree" + "house" email_greeting = treehouse + 'loves' + name

name.py 
name = 'Bryan'
treehouse = "Tree" + "house" 
email_greeting = treehouse + 'loves' + name

Hi Bryan

You can call the format method on any string. The format method allows you to substitue placeholders in a string with passed in variables. These variables or values must be passed in order of the placeholders in the string. So to create a string called 'Treehouse loves bryan' you could do this "{} loves {}".format("Treehouse","bryan").

for the sake of this challenge you do it like so.

name = 'Bryan'
treehouse = "Tree" + "house" 
email_greeting = "{} loves {}".format(treehouse,name)
