Can't get the final challenge in the NSStrings code challenge. Any help?

The question states: Declare a third NSString variable named 'favorite' and assign a concatenated string to it by appending the variable named 'color' to the variable named 'preference'. (Remember to use the method 'stringByAppendingString').

I can't seem to get this one even after re-watching the video any help with what I've missed would be appreciated.

string.mm 
NSString *color = @"Purple";
NSString *preference = @"My Favorite";

NSString *favorite = [preference stringByAppendingString:color];

Hi Michael,

I'm not sure how you passed the second challenge. You were supposed to assign preference the value "My favorite color is ", not "My Favorite". That's your only issue. You're calling the method correctly.

Douglass Turner, it might be good to adjust the Challenge 2 checking :).

Cheers,

Greg
