**[Solved]** problems with formatting method exercise

Not sure where I'm falling short here, I keep getting an error message and the notification: "Be sure to use the {} placeholder and the .format() method." Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

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

Moderator Edit: Marked as Solved.
