Branching Quiz

This is the question that I am stuck on: The code to accept input for the favorite color has been provided for you. For this task, add a branch that checks if the favorite_color is equal to "blue". If it is indeed "blue" print out to the screen, "You must love the sky!"

This is my code: favorite_color = input("What is your favorite color? ") favorite_color = "blue" if favorite_color == "blue" print("You must love the sky!")

Can someone please clarify..

You need to delete favorite_color = "blue". favorite_color will be set by the user since you're asking for their input, so you should not set it inside the code. Also, if statement requires a colon at the end. It should like this:

favorite_color = input("What is your favorite color? ") 
if favorite_color == "blue":
    print("You must love the sky!")

In the future, please put your code in a code block like I've done. It's really hard to read code not in a code block and we can't tell if you've made indentation errors. A code block is surrounded by 3 back ticks -- they look like single quotes but point the other way, usually below the esc key. Put ```python to get the syntax colors.
