iOS Swift Basics Swift Types String Manipulation

compiler mistake

In this task we're going to declare two strings. First, declare a constant named name and assign to it a String containing your name.

Second, declare a constant named greeting. Set the value of greeting to an interpolated string that combines "Hi there, " with the string stored in the name constant.

As an example, the final value of greeting could be "Hi there, Linda". CODE: // Enter your code below let name = "Cristian" let greeting = "Hi there" let interpolatedGreeting = "(greeting), (name)"

//whats wrong with this?

strings.swift
// Enter your code below
let name = "Cristian"
let greeting = "Hi there"
let interpolatedGreeting = "\(greeting), \(name)"

It looks like the challenge is only asking for 2 constants, name and greeting, with greeting being an interpolated string combining "Hi there" with the constant name:

let name = "Cristian"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"

Thank You it worked!
