What you're most likely after is a string "blue", and you want to examine whether it is equal to a variable called favoriteColor. Am I right? If that is the case you'll be after something like: "blue".equals(favoriteColor).

26,873 PointsThis is not syntactically correct.
If it is a variable declaration the type should have its first letter capitalized: String my favouritecolor = "blue". (Still invalid)
Spaces are not allowed in variable names and generally we camel case variable names in Java: String myFavouriteColor = "blue". (This is valid)
