Hi there! Your code is functional, yes. However, it does not meet the requirements of the challenge. The challenge wants the fully formatted string assigned to the variable subject. Currently, only the unformatted version of the string resides inside that variable. You need to use the format() method directly on the same line with the string to be formatted. Also note that the challenge does not ask you to print anything.

:bulb: Note: when doing these challenges it's a good idea to try to avoid doing things the challenge hasn't explicitly asked for. Even if functional outside the challenge, it can cause the challenge to fail.

I think you can get it with these hints, but let me know if you're still stuck! :sparkles:
