28,558 PointsThe reason why you are not able to pass the challenge is not actually due to an issue with your code, but due to the fact that the challenge checker is often very picky and exact about what it expects your code to output and look like.
There are two issue in particular in your code that trips the challenge checker up:
It asks you to format this exact string "Treehouse loves {}" notice that the T in treehouse is capitalized in this string, in your string it is not, that difference is enough to make the challenge checker fail you.
The challenge checker expects the .format call to come directly after the string, in your code there is a space between the string and the call to the .format method, that is also enough to make it mark your code as wrong.
Fixing those two issues results in this code:
name = "name"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)
Which will pass the challenge.
