i dont know what im doing wrong here

using_input.py
favorite_color = input("What is your favorite color?")
print("purple ", favorite_color, " is a great color! ")

On the second line you want to print "The color purple is a great color!". How would we do this? Well, what you have done is incorrect as it will print out "purple purple is a great color! ".

You need to put:

print("The color ", favorite_color, " is a great color!")

You've got the spaces in the right places so it will look like a real sentence, it's just not printing out what the question asks.
