Only 3 things:

  • The {} placeholder thing isn't in the double quotes as "Treehouse loves" is.
  • The challenge never asked you to print anything.
  • You should call format with the name variable, like this: .format(name) (I'm just showing what the call will look like, I removed the string part that's supposed to be before the .format())

I hope this helps :grin:

Happy coding! :confetti_ball:
