Challenge Task 2 of 2 - cannot get right answer

OK, so now use .format() on the string "Treehouse loves {}" to put your name into the placeholder. Assign this to the variable subject again.

strings.py 
name="Sherry"
subject="Treehouse loves {}" .format(name)

Hi Sherry,

The only thing I can suggest is remove the unnecessary space that is between the string and the .format method. Here is the code below for you to look at:

name = "Your Name"

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

Hope this helps you pass your challenge. Happy Coding!
