What is wrong with this ? name = "Pat" subject = "Treehouse loves {}" subject.format(name)

Can anyone help? I get an error.

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

That looks valid, but the challenge is expecting format to be called directly on the subject string:

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