not working, Im writing out string, then favorite color = sign quotes, red then ; and its wrong, why?

I included code from previous task because it tells me to do so and then I added new code for color and it's wrong, don't know why. I also just typed in string, favorite color = sign, quotation marks with color red inside quote marks and then ; and its still showing as wrong. Is it because Im working on a Mac laptop?

Color.java 
String myName = "Jesse";
String favoritecolor = "red";

the task states: Set the favoriteColor variable to your favorite color. You might need to move some things around and add or change some text.

you dont need the myName variable, the task did not ask you to provide that so you can remove that line

the reason its not working is you named the variable favoritecolor instead of favoriteColor. variable names in java use camel case and start with a lower case letter: thisIsAVariableName

use the name the task asked for:

String favoriteColor = "red";
