Hi Gerald,

In task 1 you created a variable along the lines of:

favorite_color = "green"

Part 2 wants you to insert that color name string that you stored in the favorite_color variable into another string "The color [YOUR FAVORITE COLOR] is my favorite!" and print it out to the screen.

So in my example here, where I've assigned "green" to favourite_color, to pass the challenge I would need to use python to insert green into the printed string, to read: "The color green is my favorite!".
