Problem is string format exp...

so now use .format() on the string "Treehouse loves {}" to put your name into the placeholder. Assign this to the variable subject again.

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

Where is the issue there

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

You were close, but try this.

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

:point_right: The challenge says to assign the final string to "subject", not print it.

I'll bet you can get it now without an explicit spoiler.
