You really just need to combine your last two lines into one so that the version of the string with your name included gets assigned to the subject variable.

You also don't need to use str(name), because name is already a string, so there's no need to convert it to type string.

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