Can someone advice on "now use .format() on the string "Treehouse loves {}" to put your name into the placeholder. "

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

How do I do this? Thanks.

strings.py 
name = "Priyanka"
subject = print ("Treehouse loves %s" % (name))

this example is self sufficient to explain.

Comment if it isn't.

str = "a{}c".format("b")
print(str)
#output: abc
str = "a{}c{}".format("b", "d")
print(str)
#output: abcd
