But for starters, favorite_color = ("Green", and "Blue")
isn't proper syntax. If you really want to include both items as your favorite color, they need to be combined into a single string, like this: favorite_color = "Green and Blue"
. But that's complicating the exercise, as favorite_color would normally be assigned a string naming a single color.
Add a link to the course page and I can give a more detailed and specific answer.

This question is about the Python language, where and
is a valid keyword but &&
is not valid.

4,072 Pointstechnically correct, but not a great answer. the syntax is wrong yes. but the code is correct. and is usable just in && form.
