I don't know what I'm doing wrong

I thought I was following what Task 2 was asking for, but apparently it's wrong.

strings.py 
name = "siman"
subject = .format(treehouse loves {})

Couple of points to remember:

'dot(.)' operator is used for accessing the members of an object.

Format() is defined for string objects(every datatype is an object in python).

So, format is a function of string...

"some string blah blah".format();
# is the way of using it.

Now format takes the argument and fills the string in place of braces.

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

!dont forget the space between the loves and the braces.
