Am i to print the complete statement after defining the .format? Is this not a 2 part question?

I am defining the subject as subject= 'Treehouse loves {}'... and the name as name = 'brian' Not what sure am I to do with that. I can print it using>>> print(subject.format(name)) , and that works in my console fine, but it seems that is not what the question wants from me. What does it want?

strings.py 
>>> subject= 'Treehouse loves {}'
>>> print(subject.format(name))
Treehouse loves brian

Hi,

Just rearrange it a little:

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

Hope it help.
