what is wrong with the following?

name = 'scott' subject = "Treehouse loves {}" .format(name)

I already asked on this and thought I matched exactly.

Thanks

strings.py 
name = 'scott'
subject = "Treehouse loves {}" .format(name)

It appears that you have a space between the closing quote mark and the period starting your format method. You just need to get rid of that whitespace.
