Not sure what is wrong with my code:

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

Hi Srini,

The 2nd task asks you to assign a string to the variable subject and use the format() function using your variable 'name' you made for the first task. This can be achieved with the code below:

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

Hope this helps. Happy Coding!
