I duplicated the code in workspaces and it worked fine but it won't go through in the code challenge. Am I doing something totally wrong?
name = "Danny"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}"
print(subject.format(name))

While the code does work, it is not what the challenge asked for, which is why you are receiving the "Bummer!".
The challenge asks:
OK, so now use .format() on the string "Treehouse loves {}" to put your name into the placeholder.
It didn't ask for a print method. So, the format needs to be added to the actual string.
name = 'nick'
subject = 'Treehouse loves {}'.format(name)
Hope that helps and makes sense. :)
Keep Coding!

Treehouse TeacherHi there! The result looks correct in workspaces because you're printing it. However, the challenge does not ask for nor want you to print anything. It's asking for the formatting to be done on the same line on which you declare and initialize the subject variable. Here's a hint: to pass this step your code should only be two lines long, not three.
Hope this helps!
