When I execute this code in online sandbox it works, but is not working here. Any suggestions? Thanks

name = "Hi, my name is {}" print(name.format("Justin")) subject = "Treehouse loves {}" print(subject.format(name))

strings.py 
name = "Hi, my name is {}"
print(name.format("Justin"))
subject = "Treehouse loves {}"
print(subject.format(name))

The challage does not ask you to print anything, so remove the 2 line with print doing this can give unexpected results.

Add the .format(name) to the line where you assigned the variable subject. Doing this in the print line is not assigning it to the vaiable subject.

Hi While that does work, to complete the challenge change the last two lines into one line. Have a go, if you get stuck just comment on this and I'll post the code.
