Strings

Hi Guys

Having some trouble with this question. I keep getting this error message: NameError: name 'subject' is not defined

strings.py 
name = "Kevin"
status_message= "Treehouse loves {}".format ("Kevin")

You should read the question one more time:

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 =). You do not need to print() anything.

They want your variable to have the name subject not status_message.

And also you should make use of the variable name you created, instead of retyping your name, within status_message.
