Python Basics, Challenge 2, input function

I've been on this second question of the quiz for 4 days. I've inputed multiple variations and looked up multiple answers. None which have helped this far.

favorite_color= input(" what is your favorite color?")

I've tried multiple ways to solve this. i really need a walk through for the second part

Hi Miles Almas

You'll need to link to the question to which you are referring. The easiest way to do that is to click the Get Help button directly in the question.
Without the context of the question, it is impossible to help troubleshoot, as the code above in itself is correct, except for the extra space in the string at the beginning.
Please repost from the actual question you are stuck on.

Thanks :) :dizzy:

Hi Miles,

I looked up the lesson/challenge you’re referring to, which is...

Use the favorite_color variable in your print function to output the following message to the screen :

The color [USER INPUTTED COLOR] is a great color!

I will respond with my favorite color when I run your script.

For instance, if I enter "purple" I want your code to print:

The color purple is a great color!

What you’ll want to do is print a formatted string. The string will be “The color _______ is a great color!” Only you’ll substitute the blank with the favorite_color variable as it will contain the user's input.

It’s important that you spell everything correctly, often times that’s the reason a student doesn’t pass the challenge. So don’t forget to include the exclamation mark at the end of your string.

Let me know if you still have issues completing the challenge.
