Code Challenge: String Formatting

¨¨¨python name = "Juro" subject = "Treehouse loves {}" print(subject.format(name)) ¨¨¨ I don't find any bad practice with this code. Task is "I want to make the email subject one more time, but this time let's use the .format() method for strings. Go ahead and make your name variable again. Hey, all practice is good practice, right?"

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

The code challenge wants you to use the .format() method on the same line that you define the variable "subject". This should work:

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

FYI there was nothing syntactically wrong with your original code...

I tried

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

and

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

But got error in both cases, what could be wrong?

I was havign the same problem and then I watched the video again that was right before the quiz. I would suggest watching it again so you can learn properly, but this is what it ended up being:

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

I changed the name to yours, but obviously anyone who reads this can change that name to their own.

What worked for me was:

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