"Treehouse loves {}"

6,005 PointsI tried this challenge with this code and it passed
name="Ashton"
subject="Treehouse loves {}" .format(name)
And with this code did not pass
name="Ashton"
subject="Treehouse loves {}.".format(name)
Bummer! Be sure to use the {} placeholder and the .format() method.
Why?

Treehouse Guest TeacherIt was because of the period inside the quotes. I've changed it now, though, so the period shouldn't matter.
