Use the favorite_color variable in your print function to output the following message to the screen :

using_input.py 
favrite = input("what is your favorite_color")
favorite_color = input("what is your favorite color?")
print("the color purple is a great color")
favorite_color = "purple"

Your second line was good for task 1, that's the only "input" you'll need and you won't need to create a "favorite" variable. So you can delete the top line.

For task 2, "purple" is only an example, the code shouldn't use it. Instead, 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.
