139 PointsThe print function keeps turning yellow as if it's trying to become a script. I am beyond confused. Any suggestions?
Trying to do this:
1 favorite_color = ("green") 2 print ("The color") favorite_color ("is my favorite!")
favorite_color = ("green")
print("The color") favorite_color ("is my favorite!")

favorite_color = "green"
print("The color", favorite_color, "is my favorite!")

12,719 PointsOn top of what Steven Parker said, you can also use conjugation, like so:
favorite_color = "green"
print("The color " + favorite_color + " is my favorite!")
Notice that you have to include spaces in the strings (like after the word color, and before is in the last string) if you want them to show when you print.
