Now write out to the screen The color [YOUR FAVORITE COLOR] is my favorite!, where [YOUR FAVORITE COLOR] is using the variable you created in Task 1. Asking a beginner to do this, what an earth does that mean??
favorite_color="red"
the coolor("your favorite color")

28,558 PointsYou need to mix the string and the variable, it should not be purely the one or the other.
Like this:
favorite_color= "red"
print("The color", favorite_color, "is my favorite!")
This challenge, like most of the beginner challenges, are strongly tied to the code shown in the video directly preceding it. In the previous video you were introduced to variables and to printing out variables and strings together in the way shown above.
While you are certainly entitled to cancel your subscription if you are not satisfied with your experience I would disagree that this particular exercise is a good reason to do so.
Learning how to print out text and how to use variables are almost always the first things thought in programming courses, regardless of language, as they tend to be the simplest concepts to learn in the beginning, and they are both pretty essential going forward in the language as well.
