509 PointsI cant figure out what is wrong with my code
It looks like I've done everything right, but It keeps giving me the 'bummer!"
name='seamus' subject='treehouse loves {}' print(subject.format(name))
the error says I need to use {} and format, but I've clearly used both, If i've used them wrong it doesn't say how.
name='seamus'
subject='treehouse loves {}'
print(subject.format(name))

24,456 PointsHi Seamus,
The goal is to assign the subject variable to the full concatenated string as mentioned in the exercise. You're currently simply saving the string template that can be changed later, but you're not assigning your name value inside the string. There is no need to print the string. Also, make sure that the subject string is exactly as stated in the exercise as you need "Treehouse" to be capitalized as such. Try it out!

509 Pointscool I got it. I didn't realize I was meant to write it as:
subject="Treehouse loves {}".format(name)
All in the same line.
Thanks!

509 Pointsdidn't realize they would imbed my code, so disregard the in-line stuff up top.
