991 PointsHi below formula is not working when trying to add my (name) back into the (subject) brackets. Says Bummer, Make sure us
Bummer: make sure to use {} and .format()
Here's my formula that keeps getting BUMMER:
name = "Erik" subject = "Treehouse loves {}" print(subject.format(name))
It works on Workspace though. Thanks, Erik
name = "Erik"
subject = "Treehouse hates {}"

Your code may "work", but it's not what the challenge asked for.
The challenge says: use .format() on the string "Treehouse loves {}". It's expecting you to apply the format function directly to the string, but you assigned the string to a variable and used format on the variable.
It also says: Assign this to the variable subject again. So you need to make that assignment instead of using print.
