I am not sure why this task is not passing. I think I am missing something using the .format function

How can I do this?

strings.py 
name = "Alvaro"
treehouse = "Treehouse loves {}"
subject = treehouse.format("Alvaro")

While this would be a functional practical solution, the challenge is not expecting the use of the intermediate variable to hold the template string. Try applying the format function directly to the template string literal.
