Treehouse Moderator 68,425 PointsIn your code, the results of the first line obtaining the user's input is reference by the variable favorite_color
. Use this variable to reference the user input.
So, print(favorite_color)
would print the response.
Unfortunately, in the second code line, the reference favorite_color
is reassigned to the result of the print
statement. Print statements do not return a value, so favorite_color
now references None
print
statement results do not get assigned to a variable name. Remove the assignment from before the print
. Then fix the formatting of the printed string to utilize the value contained in the variable favorite_color
.
I've left the details for you to work out. You can do this!!
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!
