Python Python Basics (2015) Python Data Types String Formatting

Strings

OK, now use .format() on the string "Treehouse loves {}" to put your name into the placeholder. Assign this to the variable subject (so start with subject =). You do not need to print() anything.

I wrote:

name = 'Yungi' subject = 'Treehouse loves{}" .format{name}

what is wrong?

strings.py 
name = 'Yungi'
subject = "Treehouse loves {}" .format{name}

You just need to remove the space between your string and .format, and also change the {} to () around the name variable.
