7,693 PointsMake sure you're copying the content exactly as the challenge describes.
For example, in this challenge, make sure your prompt (input) says
favorite_color = input("What is your favorite color? ")
Then, for the second task, if you want to concatenate the inputted text, you can do so using the concatenation symbol in Python, which is +
(plus sign).
print("The color " + favorite_color + " is a great color!")
Or, doing the approach (I think) you're going with in using the format() method:
print("The color {} is a great color!".format(favorite_color))
Good luck!
