57,712 PointsOK. What track are you on, what task have you been set, and what's not working.
Some code examples would help too.

I have no idea what the favoriteColor
string is; I'm just a student too.
If you can help me out with some context, like defining a code language, the question or problem you have been set, the answer that's not working etc - I/we may be able to assist.

I'm not on that track and nor have I done it. I'm sure it's a great place to be. But I can't answer your question because I have no idea what you are talking about.
Let's have a look at what you're being asked to do and let's have a look at your proposed answer. Then we can muddle through and sort a solution.
Post the problem and we'll do our best to post the solution. I have no idea what favoriteColor
is - I haven't taken that course.

The challenge just wants you to add your favorite color inside the quotes, and move the words around so they make sense in declaring a variable. When you don't pass the challenge, read the hints. It helps a lot!
So we start off with this, right?
favoriteColor String equals "";
This challenge is basically a word scramble, along with inputting your favorite color. So let's say your favorite color is blue. Let's add that in.
favoriteColor String equals "blue";
It also tells us that we might need to move a few words around in order to get the code to run, and that we might need to change a few words too. Let's do that.
String favoriteColor = "blue";
This looks about right to me. If you'll notice, I changed the words around, and also swapped out the word equals
for =
. That should get you past the code challenge and I hope it helped you to understand what they were asking for a little better!
