267 Points.format Challenge Task 2 of 2
I am not sure why my code is not working properly (obviously...).
I assigned my subject to a string with a bracketed variable.
I then tried to reference that variable by using the .format command.
What am I doing incorrectly? Thanks!
name = "steve"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}"
subject.format("name")

25,849 PointsYou are welcome Steven, That may worked as well but you do not have to write an extra line of code when you are not asked to do so. :)

267 PointsThank you Isna! I played around with this concept in the work space and saw that they way you cited above works. Additionally, what I have typed above could work if I use subject.format(name) rather than subject.format("name").
Thanks!
