having trouble with this, not sure what im doing wrong. I put the code into the shell and it worked fine but when i put it into the challenge on python basics it says im doing it wrong. here is what i put up in the shell:
name = "Aaron"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}"
subject.format(name)
'Treehouse loves Aaron'
name = "Aaron"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}"

name = "Aaron"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)
Cheers!
