Why won't my code work?

Hello,

My code looks like this:

name = "Noel" subject = "Treehouse loves {}"

print(subject.format(name))

I am being told that I am not using the {} or the .format? Any suggestions?

Thank you!

strings.py 
name = "Noel"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}"

print(subject.format(name))

Try this:

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