3,474 PointsHey Frank,
You are halfway correct! But when naming variables, in this case:
# Remove the brackets and surround your value in either single or double quotes.
favorite_color = ("blue")
# Since the value "blue" is stored in variable favorite_color, it needs to be concatenated to the string using the plus sign (+) and a quote (") for spacing.
# Example:
car = "lamborgini"
print("In the future, I wish to have a "+car+" as my dream sportscar!")
# If you want to put your variable at the begginning of a string:
print(car+ " is the car I want!")
# At the end of a string:
print("My favorite sportscar is the " +car)
# Notice we need a puncutation, so:
print("My favorite sportscar is the " +car+ "!")
Hope this helps, if not let me know.

Courses Plus Student 718 Pointshey can you explain why, because the video i watched never said to use the + it said to use commas and it never explained how to use it in the middle of a string! the only example i got was using it at the beginning.
