241 Pointscan you help with this question . thanks
Use the favorite_color variable in your print function to output the following message to the screen :
The color [USER INPUTTED COLOR] is a great color! I will respond with my favorite color when I run your script.
For instance, if I enter "purple" I want your code to print:

For task 2, print the phrase using "format" to substitute the user's color (you won't know what it is) into the message. You'll use a placeholder {} where the color will go, and pass the variable from task 1 to the "format" call.

print("The color", favorite_color, "is a great color!")
You already have the color from the input saved into the variable 'favorite_color'. So all you need to do is wrap the variable around the string.
