I did the following and got SyntaxError at the end
favourite_fruit="apple" print("favourite_fruit="favourite_fruit)

You can't just place a literal string along side a variable.
But you can combine them with the concatenation operator ("+"):
favourite_fruit = "apple"
print("favourite_fruit = " + favourite_fruit)

favourite_fruit = "apple" print("favourite_fruit = {}").format(favourite_fruit)
