Gunjeet Hattar
14,483 PointsIf you type favourite (space) Color, java will think you are referring to two differernt variable names i.e. favourite and Color
Also in java String starts with a capital letter. So it's incorrect to say string
Java, thus Android is a strictly typed language, meaning you should be very careful with the case of the letter. For e.g. String and string are two different things in java
This is the correct answer
String favouriteColor = "blue";
Hope this helps

2,041 Pointsi copy your code but it still don't work and show me: Bummer! Identify the different parts of the code. Which part defines the type of the variable? Which part is the name of the variable? What order should they be in? Is 'equals' the correct operator for assigning a value to a variable?

14,483 PointsIt is not compulsory to use capital C for color. But this is what is known as camel casing and usually applied for variable and method names. So the first letter of every second word is a capital letter for e.g. String hello*World , int numberOfP*osts = 20;
In the case of treehouse however you will find an error if make the c of color small because I believe its been set to recognize color as capital C and if you dont if throws a bummer! When doing actual programming its completely up to you how you want to name it
