I couldn't finish it. Even though i was putting a comma after it, the variable was not showing

I cant seem to properly finish this task.

using_input.py 
favorite_color = input("What is your favorite color?")
print("The color, favorite_color, is a great color!")

Hi, you are missing " in your code. So it would be print("The color", favorite_color, "is a great color!"). this is because "The color" is a string, favorite _color is the variable name and "is a great color" is also a string., and string have beginning and ending quotes. I hope this helps :)

ps. it would also be nice to put a space before the ending quotes in input, so it looks better for the user, once I put an extra space there and it wouldn't pass because the teacher counted on one. so it is nice to check those out also, so they are exactly the same as they are in the task.
