You're on the right track. Two items to fix:

:point_right: Task 1 asks you to use input to query the user. Instead of setting favorite_color to "purple", set it to the result of input("What is your favorite color? ")

:point_right: The print statement is missing a closing paren

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!
