I don's know what's wrong with this code for the given challenge, can someone please help me out?

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

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

You have the right idea and this code would work but the challenge wants you call the .format() method on the string directly.

Something more like this:

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