As Filipe Martins did!
favorite_color = input("What is your favorite color") print("The color {} is great color".format(favorite_color))
favorite_color = input("What is your favorite color") This code gets the color input from the user.
print("The color {} is great color".format(favorite_color)) This code prints the users color input and the string to the screen.
I hope this helped! Happy coding
P.S One other way to write the print statement would be like this. print("The color" ,favorite_color, "is great color") whichever one you want. :)

- you should only assign "favorite_color" once (using "input")
- you should combine the "favorite_color" answer with the output line
You can do the latter several ways, including string formatting as in the example Filipe offered, giving multiple arguments to the "print", or by building a longer single string with concatenation.
