Hi Satish!

To format a string you can use the .format() method. The problem with your code is that you are trying to format and concatenate (use the '+' operator) the string. I'm not sure about the instructions to this code challenge but I think it would go something like this:

name = "Jaxon"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)
# Subject is now equal to "Treehouse loves Jaxon"

Next time I would suggest also putting the instructions given to the code challenge. If this helps click the up arrow!

<Thanks, > <Jaxon>
