How do I properly write this?

I know how to use .format() when printing but it says to do it without printing? How do i write .format() like that?

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

Hey Marcos,

You pretty much have it, except you are passing in your name as the parameter in the format() method. You need to be passing in the variable that is storing your name.

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

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:
