Hi! how are u? in this challange u have being asked to declare a variable with ur favorite color, this part u were doing wel! in the second part all u need to do is to print to the console the color u have chosen which stroed in favorite_color, ur doing that in a way called formatting.

the working code is:

favorite_color = "red
print("the color {} is my favorite".format(favorite_color))

{} = this is a place holder which will hold the favorite_color variable. .format(favorite_color)) = basically u have to write .format and then open a pair of () and inside them u pass the variable.
