Not sure what I did wrong

Please check my code and explain what I am doing wrong. It seems like everything is correct and I am doing exactly what we did in the lesson

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

Hey Kade,

While, technically, the code above is correct, it is not what the challenge asked you to do. Challenges are very specific and picky, so it's important to follow the instructions exactly.

The challenge did not ask you to print anything, so that line needs to be deleted. It only asked you to assign the requested string to the subject variable. Also, you have a trailing space in the string that needs to be deleted.

So, once you move all the pieces around and deleted what wasn't asked for...

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

Your code will pass. :)

Keep Coding! :dizzy:
