Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I tried fixing what the program said I did wrong. It said I didn't put in favorite_color so I did that and then It showed up as a syntax error

using_input.py 
input ("What is your favorite_color?")

Hey, step 1, is asking you to collect the input from the user and store it in a variable.

favorite_color = input("What is your favorite color? ")

setp 2, is then asking you to use the input in a sentence, like so.

print("The color", favorite_color, "is a great color!")

let me know if you have questions
