8,514 PointsHello Alyson Gant You've almost got it! Just remember the challenge wants you to "Set the value of greeting
to an interpolated string that combines "Hi there, " with the string stored in the name constant."
let name = "Alphonso"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"

39,021 PointsJust to add on to this, there's pretty much nothing wrong with your code, Alyson (except that you need a space after "let" on your last line). The problem is that the challenge is checking for the full sentence in a constant named "greeting". Your code sets
greeting
to "Hi there", which is not correct.You'll see stuff like this a lot - your code is "right" in that it doesn't cause an error or it appears to output the right thing, but if you read the challenge carefully, you're not doing quite the same thing it's asking for. Keep an eye out for that!
Happy coding
