1,621 PointsThis says my Task 1 is no longer correct. I assigned the name variable with my name as a string. What is the error?
Did I put the .format in the wrong place?
name = "Jennifer"
subject = "Treehouse loves " + {}.format(name)

Your format() is in the correct place, but the {} are incorrect. The curly braces are the placeholder for the string going to be passed in with the format() method, so they need to be part of the string and where you want the string placed. So, you're almost there
Using the format() method is similar to interpolation in other languages, so you don't use the + operator, which is also known, by others, as concatenation.
name = "Jennifer"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)
Keep Coding! :)
