What am I doing wrong?

I've been stuck on this for awhile and I don't know what I'm missing.

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

You're close, but you want to use .format() as a part of the subject variable, not when you call print.

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