OK, so now use .format() on the string "Treehouse loves {}" to put your name into the placeholder. Assign this to the variable subject again.
name = "Hey, all practice is good practive, right {}?"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}"
print(subject.format(name))

It looks like you printed the result instead of assigning it.
The challenge asks you to "Assign this to the variable subject again." Be sure to assign the formatted string to the variable instead of printing it out!
Try adding the .format function directly to the string on line 2, so the result will get assigned at the same time.

215 PointsOh my god so close. I didn't realise you can put the format function after the string like that. I thought you would have to print and add format function on there. Thanks a a lot!

231,007 PointsNo, you still need to use .format on that string.

subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)Notice how this formats the string and assigns it to the variable.
