My code is correct & tests fine in Terminal – why is it not being accepted by Treehouse?

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

This ran perfectly fine in Terminal. Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong here?

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

Hiya there! You're pretty close with this challenge. But your resulting string should be stored in subject variable. Refactor your code to be like this:

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