.format() method error.

I'm trying to solve the code challenge of using .format() method in the string. This code ain't accepted by Shell. Why ?

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

The code challenge is not asking for you to print the string, just assign that string with the format function.

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

I hope that helps a little bit
