String using .format()

I am doing the questions under strings.py. I think i am having a difficult time understanding the thing or not writing it correctly. I tried same code on spyder and it run giving the expected answer while it did not run here. What could be the problem. name = "Arilesere " subject = "Treehouse loves {} ".format(name) print (subject.format(name))# this line was not included on the code editor but i did include this on spyder and it run.

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

Hi there! You're doing terrific and your output would look the same as what is expected, but it wouldn't be exactly the same. Your string contains one extra space at the end. If I remove the space after the curly braces and before the quotations, it passes!

You have written: {} ", but it should be {}" without the space inbetween. Otherwise, an extra space is added to the string. Hope this helps! :sparkles:
