I'm writing the code correctly, I have tried using it in python directly and it works. It's not allowing me to pass.

Something doesn't seem to be working correctly...

strings.py 
name="Sebastian"
subject="Treehouse loves {}"
print(subject.format(name))

Hey there, Sebastian!

The challenge wants you to append your name to the subject string, not print it to the screen. Your code will absolutely work, but it doesn't meet the challenge's requirements.

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

Your code should look similar to the above since it wants you to use the .format() method when you declare the variable.

Hope this helps. :-)
