In the python basics challenge task 2 of 2, I don't really understand what should I do?

where should I put the .format? Thank you in advance!

strings.py 
name = "KUAN TING"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}"
subject.format(KUANTING)

Here are a couple of hints:

  • you don't need a third line, you can call the format method at the end of your string on line 2.
  • you should pass in the name of the variable (name), not the value (KUANTING).
