Hey Nisha,

First off, you need to include a {} inside your subject variable string just like task 2 tells you. It should say, "Treehouse loves {}". That is because the {} acts as a placeholder for the variable you will insert using the format.

Secondly, the .format() only needs name inside of it. So it needs .format(name). The '+ name' is not correct.

Take those hints and go finish that challenge! :]

I tried that already and it didn't work. I coded second task as subject = "Treehouse loves{}" Then how do I code the second part to show the format? .format(name)

i think this should work name = "Deja vu" subject += "Treehouse loves {}" .format(name) print (subject) but in work space it showing error " It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing."
