I tried my code on the workspace and it worked fine, but the same code placed here gets me a error

my code name = "bob" subject = "Treehouse loves {} " print(subject.format(name))

error message asks me to try and use {} and .format()

  • which I am already using and
  • this code works fine in the workspace
strings.py 
name = "Ajay"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}"
print(subject.format(name))

:point_right: Remember that "works fine" does not always mean "does the correct thing".

Your program may print just what you expect, but the challenge did not ask for anything to be printed.

See these hints I gave to someone who did nearly the exact same thing just a few minutes ago.
