// Enter your code below
let name  = "name"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"

I can see that there is abit of confusion in the answering of your question so i'd like to offer my help. I have written out the correct code below and will give it a bit of explanation now.

You have done the code 95% correct but its just the greeting constant that has the error. Only the name should be in brackets. As the greeting constant is a string, you simply write it like a normal string e.g. "Hi There". Then to pull the name constant into the string, you add (name) before you close the string... this would then read as "Hi there, (name)".

''' let name = "Callum" let greeting = "Hi there, (name)" '''

Second statement should be like this, let greeting = " hi There, (name)"

Yes

why you post "Yes" as answere ?

I mean put (name)

When I try to print backward slash it don't show in my answer. My answer is backward slash and (name) in string.
