You're very close here! Remember, we want to put the value of the variable name into the format method. You are putting a string literal of "name" in there. Take a look:

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

This will result in the subject being assigned "Treehouse loves vikas". Hope this helps! :sparkles:
