Courses Plus Student 13,800 PointsNot sure what I'm doing wrong
Bummer: : Hmm...I answered the prompt with 'Red' but that's not what was in the variable favorite_color
I keep getting this error and I redid the challenge before this one but still get the same error message
favorite_color = input("What is your favorite color? ")
favorite_color = "purple"
print("The color", favorite_color, "is a great color!")

209 PointsI think it will work if you take out the second line. You are defining favorite_color twice.

Treehouse TeacherYeah don't re-define the color to purple...I call your script and fill in the prompt...that sets favorite_color to what I entered.
That make sense?

3,274 PointsAs Paisley says, you're already letting the user define favorite_color with your input statement. By defining favorite_color again with "purple" probably just messes it up. Try removing favorite_color = "purple" and it probably will work.
Cheers
