favorite_color = "blue"
print("The color", favorite_color, "is my favorite!")

Data Analysis Techdegree Graduate 49,407 PointsI would try just adding spaces at the end of the first string and beginning of the second. These challenges can be extremely picky so always try to double check things like this.
Also, please don't stress yourself and wait so long to ask for help! You essentially had this right so don't feel discouraged! Just a picky challenge is all.
favorite_color = "blue"
print("The color ", favorite_color, " is my favorite!")

Treehouse Moderator 48,838 PointsIs the challenge failing? I just copied/pasted your code and it passed without any changes.

Data Analysis Techdegree Graduate 49,407 PointsClayton Perszyk , Do you mean you copied mine or Caitlin's code?
If you copied mine, it's because like I said, I added spaces after "color" and before "is". Without the spaces it would print like
The colorblueis my favorite!

Data Analysis Techdegree Graduate 49,407 PointsYes you're right, I just tried it as well! 🤯
Somebody must have adjusted the test with this challenge since this was posted to be more lenient haha. 🎉
