I need to declare 2 constants, and interpolat As an example, the final value of greeting could be "Hi there, Linda".

let Name = "Peter" let Greeting = "Hi there, Linda"

and now im stuck

strings.swift
// Enter your code below

let Name = "Peter"
let Greeting =

Hi Peter,

First, make your constant names have an initial lowercase. That's the convention, so name rather than Name. Classes are given initial capitals.

Next, to interpolate a string into another, you use a backslash and brackets; \(name). This inserts the value held in the name constant into a string. So, your greeting constant contains a string "Hi there, ". At the relevant point inside that, insert \(name) and your code will pass the challenge.

I hope that helps.

Steve.
