name = "Henrique"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}" 
#Treehouse_loves.format(name)
#here you probably meant, Treehouse_loves is not defined and
subject.format(name)

But thats not the correct answer either...

name = "Henrique"
#This is what author wants in particular
subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)
#Treehouse_loves.format(name)
#here you probably meant
#subject = subject

format function is defined on string class.

Now string could be a string object saved in a variable or a string itself.

  • string objec would be: sample_string_object = "Soe string in here"
  • string: "This is a string."

Now to call a function/method defined for string class...

  • sample_string_object.function_name(arg1, arg2)
  • "This is a string.".function_name()
