I'm having trouble writing this string. I keep getting the "Bummer!" result and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
name = "william"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}"
print(subject.format(name))

Courses Plus Student 26,868 PointsHi there
You should do the string formatting and variable assignment all in one line, because your line 3 won't effect the value of subject variable.
name = "william"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)
hope it helps.
