Philip Lewis
200 PointsHaving some trouble with the format method
can't figure out what it is that I'm doing wrong here.
name = "Philip"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}"
print("Treehouse loves".function(name))
I've also tried putting (Philip) instead of (name) after the function

If you get rid of the print statement, you should end up like this:
name = 'Philip'
subject = 'Treehouse loves {}'.format(name)
Good luck! ~alex
