8,895 PointsIssues with the String Formatting challenge in the python basics course.
I have been doing the challenge at this location:
https://teamtreehouse.com/library/python-basics/python-data-types/string-formatting
Using the code that will be attached.
I have checked the code so many times that I have lost count and it looks exactly like what the instructor used in the training video. I have even used the workspaces console to run the code and it works just fine. However, every time I have the challenge check my code it gives me an error message
Bummer! Be sure to use the {} placeholder and the .format() method.
name = "David"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}"
subject.format(name)

Courses Plus Student 724 PointsI think you use the .format() usually in the same line with {}.
It is like saying I want to fill {} with .format(you name what you want to fill it with)

8,895 PointsThank you so Much! So I am assuming, I could only right it the way I did, if I were using it in something like the print function, which is why it worked on the console correctly?
