Hey, i need help with an execise in the string.py section

The program wants me to write a code with strings and whatever i do and no matter how many tries i do it doesnt seem to be right somehow

OK, now use .format() on the string "Treehouse loves {}" to put your name into the placeholder. Assign this to the variable subject (so start with subject =).

Get back as soon as possible, thanks

strings.py 
name = "simon"
format(name)
subject = format("Treehouse loves {simon}")

Hello

Your syntax is just a bit off. "Treehouse loves {}.".format(name)

This should get you pointed in the right direction.

Cheers and happy coding.
