After looking at the video a couple of times and adding the same string information to an actual python shell, I don't know what on earth is wrong. Can someone tell me what I'm doing incorrectly or at least point me in the right direction.
name = "Alex"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}"
subject.format{name}
