6,085 PointsJava string question about favorite color. please help.
I'm on the second challenge and I can't believe I'm stuck. It says to fix the string for your favorite color. I fixed it this way. String favoriteColor = "Blue"; Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? from the previous video and what I did before this it should be right according to me, although it seems I'm wrong. Pleas help me! Thank you to whomever helps!

6,085 PointsThanks! I went back and did it again and I passed! I think I was being dyslexic for a moment and misspelled something every time lol. Well back to learning!

Courses Plus Student 2,447 PointsI don't understand the " and not 2(two)'. Where would I put that line? I'm having the same problem Danny had and now I'm really confused.

2,222 PointsHey Deanna! This is simply a mix-up. I wasn't saying to use that as code but for him to be sure that he was using quotations and not 2(two) apostrophes. I hope this clears that up. Chances are if you are stuck here, it's probably a typo or a semi-colon left out.
If you don't get it sorted out, show me what you have and I'll try to work through it with you.

Courses Plus Student 2,447 PointsThis is what I tried:
String favoriteColor = "blue";
That line of code doesn't work apparently. Is this Treehouse's problem on their end or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you.

6,085 PointsI was stuck on this too early on, for some reason it happens to many people it seems. I would erase everything and re-type it in. Even the capitalization counts it seems, so make sure it is exactly as you see it letter for letter. I did it a few times and I could have swore I didn't change anything but I passed. So keep trying it but of course the good thing is Claude Garrett is here trying to help you as I was helped. :)
