I need help

OK, 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 =).

strings.py 
name = "Alwi Shaik Alaudin " 
subject = "Treehouse loves {}"
print("Treehouse loves{}".format("Alwi Shaik Alaudin"))

actually, the challenge, here does not say here to print, instead assign it to the subject variable.

name = "Alwi Shaik Alaudin " 
subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)
