6,969 PointsString Formatting part 2 is wrong
Pretty sure I have this right as I checked in the shell.
task is looking to insert variable name into {} inside of another string variable. What I have and checked in the shell is:
name = 'Jason' subject = 'Treehouse loves {}' subject.format(name)
I am getting a failure on this one but when testing it out I get 'Treehouse loves Jason' in the console.
name = 'Bob'
subject = 'Treehouse loves {}'
subject.format(name)

subject = 'Treehouse loves {}' #you gotta use the placeholder continued with the format, assigned to the variable
subject.format(name) #this line is outta scope, of the question
#please go through the video, https://teamtreehouse.com/library/python-basics/python-data-types/strings,
#f you are not getting the first time, do not worry, do it over and over, I did not get the first time,
#the mentioned video above, if you are able concentrate hard you will do it,
#strings does have a method called format, where it interpolates variables
#into values, in the mentioned placeholder

6,969 PointsSo I get what your saying here but I think I wasn't wrong just thought about the answer differently coming from Ruby. I guess I just missed the example at 8:10 in the video where he was using .format() on the end of an actual string. Thanks for the reply
