You basically assign a string to a constant when you put your string in quotation mark. So it looks like you've done that correctly. The string interpolation part looks incorrect though. You keep the constant inside the string (you do not need the + ) and wrap the constant in parenthesis with a backslash so it looks something like this:
\(name)
