I tried your code in Xcode

  NSString * color = @"Purple";

  NSString * preference = @"My favorite color is";

  NSString * favorite = [color stringByAppendingString:preference];

  NSLog(@" %@",favorite);

The result is

 PurpleMy favorite color is

If you change favorite to this

  NSString * favorite = [preference stringByAppendingString:color];

You got

My favorite color isPurple

Add a space to preference

  NSString * preference = @"My favorite color is ";

BRO everything is working fine is Xcode but in the compiler provided by them it states, Bummer! Make sure to assign the correct value to 'favorite'.

I think the correct answer should be

My favorite color is Purple

But in your code shows

 PurpleMy favorite color is

as the answer
