Is this placeholder format incorrect: name = "Joseph" subject = "Treehouse loves {}" print(subject.format(name))

The task was to get hold of my name in the placeholder and ensure that the output is "Treehouse loves Joseph"

strings.py 
name = "Joseph"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}"
print(subject.format(name))

Hey Joseph,

The code challenge is looking for you to use the .format on the subject variable and then print just the variable.

Here is what my code looks like

name = 'Andy'
subject = 'Treehouse loves {}'.format(name)
print(subject)
